After the launch of the first chapter of Compost for Wild Weeds, our evolving publication, we received abundant input, both on the publication itself and on imagining the future of the Disobedient Art School (.d.a.s.). From this encounter emerged a clear desire to make the creation of .d.a.s. truly collaborative and to begin defining how .d.a.s. can start expressing itself in public space. For these reasons, we held our first public brainstorm last week at the Fossil Free Culture NL studio at OT301.
The intention is to radically co-design the vision and praxis of this project, honoring relationality as foundational. After revisiting all the key themes and questions gathered from the launch event, we prioritized our thoughts through an embodied walking exercise and brainstormed which directions feel most urgent to explore in the second chapter of the publication. By the end of the meeting, we had a mindmap of ideas, words, intentions, and questions that emerged during the conversation.
What remained was a strong wish: to take .d.a.s. into public space.
