Abstract
This chapter explores the ways in which establishing and maintaining creative ecologies requires a synthesising of ‘online’ and ‘offline’ practices, across diverse cultural, regional human and cultural lifeworlds. Braiding posthuman and creative ecology theoretics, this chapter argues that sustainable teaching, learning and living in speculative cultures requires whole-environment change, as well as mindset shift in restructuring the notion of lifespan education and creative labour. Drawing on a current study of East Asian and Australian creative education ‘cultural creative clusters’ and practices, this chapter advances a notion of creative ecologies which is not only transferable, but also specific to the differences of diverse time-space-practices.
