What
This day long action-packed workshop – just before the start of the Dutch city-council elections – will allow participants to be introduced to the theme by experienced art and design practitioners as well as experts in the activist and political scene. Together we will formulate new messages, produce and distribute our messages prior to the upcoming elections.
During the workshop participants, artists and theoreticians will brainstorm and create quick campaign reactions, and distribute them in the city.
27th February 2010 from 10.00 - 17.00 hours.
Information and registration
The day programme costs € 10, and includes drinks and production of the campaign.
