A protest workshop for future adults by Hardworking Goodlooking. In this activity, future adults (ages 12–16) discussed and enacted ways to organize acts of peaceful resistance.
Participants were asked to consider the concept of a “blank” protest, a protest for or against nothing and everything. They explored ways of working together, quickly, under a common cause that had different meanings for each person individually.
They learned the basics of organizing an act of protest, creating visual material or performance concepts as needed. The workshop culminated in a peaceful (but not boring) protest march inside and outside Kunsthall Stavanger.
