Workshop Perform
During the workshop “Perform,” we investigated the performative potential of swapping. Together with experts, beginners and dilettantes we want to learned how to turn critical debate into physical action. The content matter was be the notion of value in relation to labor and swapping as an attempt to talk about these matters. Furthermore introduced swapping as a method of production within the workshop.
