A workshop exploring how publics can be co-produced, shaped, and designed.

Drawing from the artistic-mediating practices of circuit sessions and Eva Chen, in this workshop, we will collectively explore how publics can be co-produced, shaped, and designed. We understand publics as a multifaceted concept that is not simply given, but can be constantly renegotiated. We aim to share experiences and collectively develop strategies to produce publics through questioning, performative acts, and temporary interventions. We experiment with simple means, such as textile and/or spatial elements, to create situations that enable forms of encounter, exchange, and community.

Together we ask: From which perspectives and with what responsibility do we act, and which practicesTi include or exclude? What role does bodily and experiential knowledge play? How can we learn in dialogue with and from one another?
