2021 PSN Conference Presentation

With global studios and travel banned for Australian students in 2021, students from the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation in Australia (at the University of Technology Sydney) were invited to attend a virtual global studio with colleagues from the intentional community of Auroville, South India. As students were in a liminal space “betwixt and between” worlds – neither fully in the traditional learning environment of a university nor in the full utopian context of Auroville, they were still able to wonder and imagine what life would be like without money, or understand what it would mean to have no religion (and yet have an intensely spiritual, purpose-led life). Worldview shifts and “peak transformative experiences” were still abundant, demonstrating the generative power of liminal spaces as explorations of the possible.
