Resources

We have been inspired by wonderful people – everyone individually during activism and pure living and all together within the processes of this project. We try to acknowledge the roots, work done and love put to the concepts and ideas we work with and try to learn from. A lot of ideas and materials we are sharing and working with will be from marginalized, BIPoC thinkers and activists. We will acknowledge, where we know them. And include discussions, work and learnings on colonialism, racism and appropriation into our journey.

In this section you find step by step outputs and documentation of the project and material we collected during the journey.
