Good Praxis — From Individual Desire to Collective Action
In this workshop Good Praxis of the KABK Studium Generale for the Joint Research Day 2024, Juha van 't Zelfde will organise a mutual aid workshop on collective creativity.
As not everyone can participate in blockades, strikes or blowing up pipelines, mutual aid gives us agency to organise ourselves to meet the needs that are not being met by people in power.
Inspired by artist Toni Cade Bambara, who said: 'the role of the artist is to make revolution irresistible', the workshop will teach students a method to go from individual desire to collective action.
Juha van 't Zelfde is a Finnish-Dutch autodidact artist, organiser and teacher. From the need to desire the world differently, he founded Good Praxis in 2023 with artists Lars Holdhus and Arnau Sala Saez. Good Praxis celebrates successful models of collective resistance and creative revolution through a series of workshops, assemblies and club nights. Events have been held in Barcelona, Valence, Brussels, Amsterdam, Malmö and Helsinki.
