WORKSHOP

The Sunday work session (fully booked) is curated by The Matter of Contradiction’s team and welcome proposals from diverse fields of study that might offer interesting pathways, problematics and objects. The aim of this work session will be the production of a collective “object” that theoretically as much as performatively addresses the questions raised during the two days conference. The list of participants can be found on the tumblr.

Participants will be notified by email and engaged in a dialog in preparation of the work session.
