We Must Clown

Hi @Sabouny and @Yosser , welcome to our little corner of the world :slight_smile:

By coincidence I’ve come across two articles. They both involve use of clowning as a strategy, but are really different:

“The Insane Clown Posse’s Juggalo March on Washington, explained”

“Clowns Kicked KKKs asses”

There are several members in the broader community working at the intersections of art and activism/ attempts to deal with consequences of issues on communities. Several of them are coming to the community gathering in Brussels on October 19-21, and possibly to the OpenVillage MENA space after if I can convince them :))

A good way to connect is to read their stories and leave comments saying hello:

@matteo_uguzzoni has done a lot of work designing games for urban public spaces with another community member Augusto…He’s suggested running part of the program for the festival as an urban game. Plus I think he’s into maybe doing something in MENA at some point. Maybe good to have a chat?

@kate_g is somehow at a similar place…have a look at this conversation (especially the comments)

I get the feeling that @amiridina knows some interesting things going on in Egypt, Ping @hazem maybe you know of more people?
