About Jen Rae

Relationships are core to my practice. My strongest skill is being able to connect the dots whether it is relationships, ideas or information. I am a practice-led researcher with expertise in climate change/disaster preparedness, creative resilience, community and public engagement, and food futures, specifically the role of artists in these environmentally focussed discourses. With over 15 years of work at these intersections, I have initiated, designed/co-designed, delivered and contributed to a wide range of complex projects working in transdisciplinary collaborative teams. This includes facilitating workshops and community engagement strategies/activities, grant and report writing, research and consultation, public presentations and socially-engaged projects. Noteworthy examples of my work independently and with others include: REFUGE (2016-2022 core artist), Centre for Reworlding and Fair Share Fare. Links provided.The Centre for Reworlding amplifies arts + culture’s leadership capacity in climate emergency responsiveness, disaster risk-reduction and resilience contexts via- the development and presentation of multi-platform art projects;- our innovative labs + workshops;- cross-sectoral partnerships + collaborations; and,- research and advocacy.Fair Share Fare works across research, consultation and community engagement to better understand the needs and aspirations of local communities to have greater agency in their food systems. Recent activities include 'Fawkner Grows/Fawkner Eats' (2020) in collaboration with Fawkner Food Bowls, Moreland Council and Merri Health - a creative lab and program of food-related activities that foster social inclusion; and, a collaborator with the Open Food Network on the Moreland Council Food Hub feasibility study (2020) and Nillumbik Shire's Sustaining Land and People project.I have also lectured at the post-graduate level in art + performance including supervision, subject and course design and coordination (Deakin University and University of Melbourne, 2015-2019).What I have to offer is:- Strong strategic thinker with the proven ability to initiate and project manage a broad range of projects- Excellent research, evaluation and analytical skills - Industrious problem solver with the confidence to take initiative and make decisions- Refined level of interpersonal skills and professional acumen to work effectively in collaboration with colleagues and diverse range of people - Highly developed verbal, written and presentation skills that can be adapted for various purposes and audiences.

  • The Riparian Project (Not For Profit)
    Director And Co-Founder
    The Riparian Project (Not For Profit) 2009 - Feb 2016
    Melbourne, Australia
    The Riparian Project is a public art initiative that aims to influence a shift in grazing practices in Victoria to improve river health - in other words we’re using art to encourage positive change. Unrestricted livestock in rivers is the biggest barrier to improving river health in Victoria. Our transdisciplinary team is unique - an artist, a lawyer and an engineer. We work with partners and community members to talk about river health and creative ways to change practices. This is an old and weathered problem (since colonial times) that we believe needs a bit of creativity and community engagement to generate change. We do this through strategic community engagement activities including tours, workshops, presentations and the design & development of a public art project in conjunction with the rural communities we work with. My responsibilities include:- The development and design of public art projects and online creative media including preparing design briefs, conducting feasibility studies, managing budgets and working with contractors- Co-design and facilitation of urban and rural engagement strategies including community workshops and forums as well as managing ongoing communication with external stakeholders, partners and community members (e.g. Shire of Murrundindi, DEPI, local catchment management authorities, Aboriginal elders, Land Care, etc.)- Co-project management including: strategic planning, risk assessments, conducting research and developing partnerships for resource sharing and organisational growthWe are currently working in the community of Yea, Victoria to create a permanent public artwork in the Yea Wetlands - an area once used for agricultural grazing. The artwork will be installed in 2015. More details can be found at: www.theriparianproject.com.auIn 2010, The Riparian Project received a $25,000 RMIT SEEDS Social Entrepreneurship Award for our project in Yea.
