Description
GesprächsStoff for Activist Exchange and Actions
The GesprächsStoff is a versatile tool for political action art. Whether at the shared apartment table or on the go, it invites political exchange and collective action as a tablecloth, scarf, flag, or skirt.
01 Exchange: The transparent fabric with nine embroidered topic areas serves as a conversation starter. Supplementary questions on the website stimulate exchange and can be continuously expanded. The “From Anger to Courage” questions support the development of joint action ideas.
02 Action: The resulting ideas can be visualized and implemented on the blank fabric. The GesprächsStoff thus becomes a non-verbal statement of political action art. Several GesprächsStoffe can be connected via ribbons, enabling collective messages in public spaces.
