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.

Public intervention moment
On 28th Sunday or Wednesday 3rd March 2010 from 13:00
We will together take the campaigns realised during the workshop into public space- this might entail a public performance, speech, garden planting or poster plakking, but will incorporate the messages of the campaigns developed.
After this moment there will be drinks.
The presenters from the "Tulp = Bol Salon", that takes place on February 25th, will be present during the workshop.
The workshops as well as the resulting campaign interventions will be documented for later use.
