On Saturday during the Slum Carnival, Fool's Gold will organise two workshops at 13.00 and at 15.00. The workshop consists of making unique, self-designed earrings. The earrings will be made of messing, a cheap and versatile material.
Freezing Favela
Freezing Favela is a temporary city at Mediamatic Fabriek. The Fabriek is situated in the Van Gendthallen on Oostenburg, Amsterdam. The space is big, unheated, and the roof leaks. Designers, cooks and other makers have been given the possibility to claim part of this space as their own. They work autonomously from their workshop- or project space, but like in any other community, materials, space, and functions have to be shared. Favela citizens are making tosti's from scratch, paper from cow dung, furniture from cardboard, and food from our aquaponics farm. They give workshops, organize get-togethers, and serve food.
