Together, we will write: Future
Workshop
2023
GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This was a writing workshop, from scratch. Really from scratch, we wanted to start from the very beginning. Before we are even able to write a word (e.g. future), we need tools, resources and skills. In this workshop we took this step back, and developed hands-on, whatever we needed for being able to write at all. Making paper, binding books, pressing leaves, grinding ink, shaping type or whatever we can make ourselves, we brought together and complement each other‘s skills. The workshop aimed above all to expand our own skill-sets and learn how we can do-it-together. We reflected on questions of value creation, division of labour and care. And we explored through hands-on material research and critical making, how we could write „futures“ together.
