[-empyre-] All Call: May discussion Social Practice and Social Reproduction: the politics of participatory art

[pau delgado]

I was a guest in February's discussion, so it doesn't make sense to be a
guest again, but I will certainly be part of the discussion, I've been
thinking about the politics of participation quite a lot recently,

Looking forward to it
