On Reciprocity Open Call Briefing Session

On Reciprocity is a transformative program organised by Borneo Laboratory that invites changemakers, cultural practitioners, researchers, and storytellers to delve into the concept of reciprocity as a guiding principle for collaboration, community-building, and environmental stewardship.

Rooted in the idea that reciprocity is the foundation of balanced relationships—between people, cultures, and ecosystems—the program serves as a platform to explore how reciprocal practices can inform and inspire new ways of thinking, working, and living.

At its heart, On Reciprocity emphasizes collective wisdom and action, bringing together diverse voices to share experiences and insights from their unique landscapes. It seeks to amplify the stories of reciprocity from both tangible and intangible perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of its transformative potential.

The program comprises:

Workshops: (14th –18th February, 2025): Collaborative spaces for reflection, sharing, and co-creating projects that embody the essence of reciprocity.

A Multimedia Exhibition: (Starting 7th March, 2025): Expanding selected stories into dynamic, interactive forms to engage wider audiences.

A Series of Seminars: (14th –7th March, 2025): Public seminars featuring thought-provoking perspectives from changemakers across the region.

Through these interconnected components, On Reciprocity aims to create a ripple effect of shared knowledge and action, inspiring participants and audiences alike to embrace reciprocity as a tool for positive change.
