Format: Performative round table conversation 

A conversation between co-researchers (young people, youth leaders, artistic practitioners, researchers) investigating ‘Cultural Commons’ by reflecting upon the sensitive balance between giving support, paving the way for youths, and letting go. Conversing about negotiations, different levels of control and the difficulty of dealing with open processes.

How is friction and/or coexistence embodied, felt, sensed, performed, manifested, made knowable in artistic practice and research?

With attention to the perspectives of young people and the underlying social power structures they encounter in their everyday lives, this contribution explores the frictions within our ‘collective body’ during a series of common workshops, excursions, and conversations.
