Elizabeth Woods and Kevin Leong are Australian contemporary artists working in Australia and Europe.
Their socially-engaged projects are developed around compelling ideas that invite and structure creative responses – ideas which allow intentional communities to grow from the new relationships formed between artists, writers, designers, community/interest groups, organisations, institutions and government. Their practice builds sympathetic, collaborative relationships with hosting environments while producing content that is socially-active and engaging for non-participating audiences. Their large scale projects have multi-year development cycles, produce multiple simultaneous public outcomes and can involve hundreds of creative participants.
Past projects include: The Social Space in Brisbane, Australia, which used radical hospitality to create a community meeting space through a free café; and See you tomorrow, at the Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh, Co. Cork, where they developed a series of public actions focusing on the collective visions for the town’s future.
They were based in The Lodge with Common Ground in the Lodge from April to June 2025 on a long-term project, The Caretakers’ Residency. During their residency they met with and interviewed local community, artists and activists in the Dublin 8 area.
