Hot Compost Home Tour is an upcoming home-based touring exhibition curated by artists and gardeners living in Naarm, produced with Seventh Gallery.
In this pre-tour workshop by Emily Simek and Doug Webb, participants were invited to make DIY tour merch by screen printing a tour t-shirt design onto their own clothes. The workshop explored self-publishing in support of alternative exhibition practices.
The print is a collaborative design by Merri Cheyne, Anna Dunnill, Eric Jong, Mei Sun, Emily Simek and Doug Webb, and uses doodling and hand writing as accessible entry points to DIY design.

Hot Compost Home Tour is an off-site exhibition series by Emily Simek in collaboration with Merri Cheyne, Anna Dunnill, Eric Jong, Mei Sun and Doug Webb. The home-based tour explores composting as an approach to exhibition practice. Using relational ethics as a framework, the project considers the conditions of the various exchanges that ‘create’ compost: how and where does it come to exist? How are different collaborators implicated? Instead of a purely material process, composting becomes about the work of relationships within systems of exchange.
Photography by Liv McGregor.
Screen printing led by Doug Webb.
Participants: Rebecca, Lester, Emmeline, Madi, Ruby, Jacqui, Jacinta, Kalina, Elanora, Clare, Elsie, Ella, Lily, Alex, Mei, Arend, Greg, Lucia, Calia, Kara, Liv, Merri, and Lucie.
