Workshop description:

There are conflicts that due to traditions, protocol, or culture we have got to a point of not perceiving them. By habit we adjust ourselves to certain situations that we believe are logical, but if we could see them from another point of view, would not be. This phenomenon occurs in our daily lives, our relationships, our schools, jobs, houses, cities.

Why is the orientation of classrooms usually frontal? Why are there so many street names of generals? Why roads are gray? Why don’t we have public sockets?

What do these decisions mean, and why do we accept them without questioning or thinking about them? Do they meet our current needs?

Our team wishes to reflect whether a change on these generally accepted convictions is possible, and what the change constitutes. Is the change always tangible or may it be a simple transformation of our perception of the facts?

In this workshop we focus on the latter. We will form a team of “Super-Receivers” to exercise our perception, capture conflicts or outdated habits, design changes and new needs and transform the perception of others through actions that encourage reflection and the awakening of the senses. Making the invisible visible through actions that are ephemeral but remain in memory.
