Beschreibung

Workshop in cooperation with the artist group and plastic recycling cooperative MINIPOGON, Belgrade, students of the Design School „Bogdan Šuput“, Novi Sad, New Media Center _kuda.org as part of MINIPOGON'S project (NON)WORKING HOURS – TUNING THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY, part of Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture 2022.
When Novi Sad will be European Capital of Culture in 2022, it will be the first city in a candidate country to hold this title. This makes it particularly interesting to invite the students of the Design School in Novi Sad, in a very multicultural region of Serbia, to reflect on their identity within Europe. How do they think of themselves, how would they describe / define themselves, what parts of their identity matter to them and why.

This part of self-narration leads directly to the Art of asking (oneself) the right (or wrong) question – in other words: Statistics. So, I would like to invite the students to collect data & desiderata regarding different fields (e.g. languages spoken, living area + circumstances, socio-economic situation – e.g. part-time job after school or not, relatives abroad, holidays or visits in other countries, wish to live/work/study abroad, political interests, sexual orientation, gender, ...), depending on the students’ interests and priorities.
