Ferment Collaborate is a growing collective of creative professionals using empowering and cultural approaches to communities, social planning and participatory arts. Our organisation works with government, industry and community to meet planning and development objectives, to connect this with community needs, and to conduct projects with creative approaches that reflect cultural diversity and inspire shared celebration. Ferment Collaborate aims to connect people with decision making, and decision makers with people, to acknowledge that communities are constantly organising themselves in ways that don’t always directly correlate with formal governance approaches.
