ABOUT OPENSOURCEHOME

In 2011 Fee Plumley sidelined her increasingly respectable career as a creative digital consultant to take up a new life as a bus-loving nomadic geek artist.

This winter Fee, and her beautiful big red bus #homeJames, will settle down to make temporary home in Adelaide CBD.

You are invited to join them and their special guests in a series of days and nights with a Nomad as they provide an insight into the practical, creative and philosophical challenges of reinventing both yourself and your home in a contemporary climate.

// OpenSourceHome is presented in partnership with Open Space. It has been supported via Arts SA‘s Unexpected City program and Adelaide City Council’s Splash Adelaide 2014 Winter season, both designed to create vibrancy in Adelaide’s city centre outside of the festival period. 

It should not go unsaid that none of this adventure would have been possible without the astonishing kindness of my Pozible crowdfunding campaign supporters, Off-grid Energy, Jimmy and Craig at Roundabout Charter, Bridge8, the loving memory of James Mellor (my bus’ namesake) and all the friends, colleagues and random strangers who have offered me their hearts, minds, homes and, of course, cash. //

I love you guys x
