Workshop description:

The purpose of the workshop is the design and one-to-one realisation of small but useful interventions (small objects), based on the group members’ vision of places inside the communal area.
Goal is the transformation of public space into personalised space – to add new assets to a place and a new, personal layer which allows the inhabitants to adapt a place to their own story and to use a space different. The objects shall be created out of the story inside a spatial condition – the specific imprint a space has.

The objects shall be useful, in a smooth, elaborated design. We do not want purely artistic or nonsense interventions but objects for every days life (examples from the previous workshops can be provided). The interventions to do shall be low-tech objects, easy for everyone to produce by themselves.

What will happen in the workshop?
The workshop consists mainly out of three stages:
1 The participants research, observe and analyse spatial situations in the city and discuss theoretical ideas about the Identity theme of easa. We will prepare some content to put fire into discussion.
2 EASiens develop realisable concepts and ideas how to intervene inside the chosen spaces.
3 The objects get detailed and build by the participants themselves and placed inside the context. Documentation takes place.
