Moments of resilience like Occupy Wallstreet and camping at the Tahrir square in Cairo reveal that the use of public space is as important for the performance of resilience as the language that people use to express their grievances. These enactments of political contestation demand for alternative responses of political leaders who seek to engage multiple actors into public decision-making. Reflecting on conflict through the framework of a social spatial narrative enables practitioners to engage into the meaning of these performances and broaden the repertoire of political engagement.
This workshop will include a simulation of local conflict. Participants will occupy a role and experience how they construct identity and positioning through the process of interaction. Reflective practice will then lead to an understanding of the narrative of others.
