Data Degrowth: cleaning a 'home' in our hands by Leo Scarin

The Grey Space in the Middle

WORKSHOPSLocation: The Grey Space in the Middle21.10 – 22.10, 11:00 – 18:30Our workshop program delves into the practicalities of waste by making and doing, creating an accessible and engaging program for visitors regardless of age or background. As much as waste is part of a complex global network to be critically examined, our interactions with it are also part of our everyday lives. The activities explore various waste categories, including textile, food, electronic (e-waste), data and plastic waste. Participants can learn how to repair and reuse materials, prevent waste generation or create new objects from existing ones. The workshop weekend focuses on how we can engage with waste locally, where it can be found around us and how we might change our relationship with it.With contributions by: TrashUre Hunt!, Dragadina, Jipcat, Jamie Nee, Leonardo Scarin, and Maidie van den BosSaturday 21st of OctoberLocation: The Grey Space in the Middle, Streets of the Hague11:00 - 14:00Fishing Trash and Making the World with TrashUre HuntDuring this workshop, participants will be guided in making their own fish.

This combination creates a beautiful result.During the next part, we will take these fish to the streets and playfully show the public that everything that ends up on the ground ends up in our home, the Earth.14:00 - 15:00Fishing Trash street parade with TrashUre HuntDuring this parade we will walk the fishes from the previous workshop during the streets of Den Haag and show the citizens that 'one persons trash, is another persons trasure'.15:00 - 18:30Textile upcycling workshops with Dragadina and JipcatThis workshop will teach participants how to transform second-hand cloths into new, stylish fashionable wearables.Sunday 22nd of OctoberLocation: The Grey Space in the Middle11:00 – 13:45No spice spilled with Maidie van den BosIn this Workshop we will be guided through our surrounding landscape and go foraging.

You will be given a handy worm menu card at the end.16:15 – 18:30Data Degrowth: cleaning a 'home' in our hands with Leonardo Scarin“Data Degrowth: cleaning a 'Home' in our Hands” is a design thinking workshop exploring methods and rituals to clean up the data storage in our smartphones.Together, we look into the theoretical framework of digital file management, Cloud services &amp; data footprint, touching upon their political and ecological aspects.
