Pop-up RAINBOW making workshops and action conducted by Artúr van Balen and Z.

Queering (x) making aspires to situate and communize the concept of (critical) making, through focusing on social and cultural urgencies that exceed (merely) material practices. It puts (critical) making into different contexts/realities, introducing it to diverse non-normative/vulnerable social groups and individuals. Through creating messy (and sticky) relations between conditions, (co-)creation, criticality, context and constituents, it discloses and dismantles both the underlying ‘productive’ norms and norm-ing of mainstream cultural and societal fabrications, as well as those of relatively privileged (academic and artistic) production. It instigates, informs, and inspires interventions by those who are (in most cases) denied access to means of production, overlooked in calculations of consumption, and excluded from long-term reflections and imaginations of diy.
