EXPANDING THE FIELD OF PARTICIPATION

08.06.2024 at 18:00

I start recognizing places with a walk. I travel along roads. I create my own map, marking points on it, measuring distances. The boundaries of the map shift. Sometimes we are in the center; other times we are thrown to the outskirts. They are marked by private topography. The topographer prepares reports from the place of events. Together with the participants of the meeting, I will draw grids. Everyone will be able to mark sections of their own stories. We will try to find points of contact in order to expand the field of participation.
