After approaching Jeremy to be a storyteller at the Failure:Lab Sydney event as part of Vivid Ideas, he suggested creating an extra element to the event by travelling from Brisbane to Sydney on his bicycle, which will also allow him to create new work based on the subject of failure.

Jeremy will be showing his bravery as a creative entrepreneur and share his experiences on a very personal level at these free Positive Failure artist talks. Along with sharing his own Positive Failures, he will invite local creatives to share their own experiences with the aim to break down the fear of failure. These intimate events will no doubt inspire and encourage all forms of creativity.
To keep in line with the FAILURE:LAB Sydney and Vivid Ideas canon of supporting creative industries, fostering stronger networks and encouraging professional development we have created an itinerary of travel stops between Brisbane and Sydney which includes galleries, cultural and community organisations as stopping points.
By creating a project that will start in Queensland and end in New South Wales, we aim to create linkages between cultural organisations along the east coast of Australia, whilst also contributing the goal of encouraging positive dialogue around the often-taboo subject of failure.
Follow the journey by attending this event. Find out where Jeremy is during May as he cycles from Queensland to New South Wales, collecting positive failure stories along the way.
We are looking for partners to work with on this special project. You might be a person with a positive failure story?
Perhaps you own a hotel and you want to put Jeremy up for the night (in trade for some social media call outs and tags, of course!)?
Maybe you own a gallery and you want Jeremy to visit?
Please get in touch and find out how you can support the Failure:Lab Journey.
