concept 

Sydney’s The Leftovers Collective are a political subversive beast. Mixing social experiments and classic verse the Leftovers are creating new forms of art. We have made 13 fresh works to date with commissions for the Powerhouse | Museum of Contemporary Art | Sydney Opera House | Mardi Gras and now, City of Sydney.
Together with the City of Sydney this September we present Rethink the Radical as part of Sydney’s Disruptive Late Night Library series. Genderfication is the first Experiment in a series of 3 commissioned by the City. It asks if we, as a contemporary society understand and can be satisfied by story regardless of the gender portrayed and pronouns spoken.

The children of today have a huge responsibility. To be our future leaders. To create and solve issues of sustainability, technology, ecology, territory and economics … the list is endless. 
However, are we affording them the creative foundations they need to take on this challenge? Are we allowing them to explore the full gamut of their creativity, verbally?
What oral traditions currently exist, and what will they evolve to become?
In a time where communicate using a limited count of characters (LOL) What is the word set to become?
