Ben Jones

I am a curator, researcher and artist whose practice-based research is concerned with community arts and social practice; digital inclusion amongst under engaged communities; and issues concerning place making and localism. I have curated exhibitions and managed and facilitated public engagement programs with academic institutions, museums, galleries and heritage and cultural organisations using creative processes to engage communities and participants. Since completing my PhD I started a creative social enterprise, Dingy Butterflies CIC, to develop creative projects in communities with low participatory and digital inclusion.
