This workshop explores censorship as a deeply rooted everyday experience. It invites you to discover the many layers through which censorship shapes our reality: often invisibly, yet with profound force.

What remains unsaid? What does silence preserve? Which ideology and hegemonic structure does censorship protect?

Censorship is not only imposed from the outside; it is also internalised. We censor ourselves in conversations with colleagues, in families, at work, among friends, and online. We hide parts of our identity to feel safe. This workshop traces censorship from the visible (laws, state control, institutional violence) to the invisible (social codes, self-censorship, silence, the unspoken).

Practical information

This workshop is free, but we kindly ask you to registrate. The workshop is offered in English.

The Pulp Collective

PULP is a transdisciplinary art collective. Through workshops, exhibitions and events, we aim to critically engage with existing norms and power structures. 

It was created to come together and engage with the PULP: the messy residue and juice of the everyday. PULP clings, ferments, and refuses disappearance. We work with these residues through the stickiness of collective making.

Moderators

Jas

Jas’s research explores censorship, focusing on how art censorship shapes and redefines national boundaries and how cultural meaning is produced through visual texts. She is also deeply interested in creative practices that critically engage with and challenge systems of oppression.

Rifka

Rifka’s artistic practice explores the intersections of feminist, ecological, and transformative justice within contemporary socio-political contexts. Her work spans hand-drawn and digital media and increasingly incorporates interactive and participatory elements.

Ellinor

Ellinor’s writing bridges policy discourse and visual storytelling, using art as a catalyst for conversation. Combining curatorial practice with social engagement, she aims to create spaces that encourage dialogue and collective reimagination.
