Based on the methodology developed by one of The Showroom’s pioneering programmes, Communal Knowledge, Elvira Dyangani Ose will lead a workshop interrogating the institutional possibilities of engaging with local communities on artistic projects. Generating playful and experimental reflections on social issues at stake in The Showroom’s local context, for the last ten years this programme has brought together different initiatives around art and social justice incorporating long-term research projects into existing community activities.
