You’re bored of the same old petitions and posters? Your NGO thinks being provocative is a selfie campaign? You’ve got an idea that is destined for success, but you have no idea how to realise it and how to sell it to the media? Your conference, panel or discussion lacks a crazy factor? We can help you.
We show, we tell, we get hands-on. Sometimes we accept bribes for services.
Brainstorm, sketch and flesh out your idea. Set up a team, timetable and tasks. Go through the concept from start to finish. Settle on framing and narrative. Work out the first texts and initial design brief. We will share experiences from past campaigns and how to avoid pitfalls.
It is not easy to set up a website that can't be traced back to you. We will give you an overview of available tools, including Bitcoin, Tor and PGP encryption and walk you through all the steps neccessary for your anonymous website. We will also talk about legal dangers of website fraud.
Want to design a fantastic looking hoax campaign on a tight budget? Steal graphics, texts and source code from your opponent and create convincing original content quickly with lazy tricks. We will also talk about copyright and why you don't have to worry about it too much.
Need to go on an undercover mission? In this workshop you will acquire effective skills on how to develop credible characters, alibis and tricky research methods useful for both activist stunts and everyday life. You will get to know some of our many personalities and why they are successful at fooling people.
You have a cool idea for a campaign but you need some assistance? Need help crafting the website, making an edgy design, refining the text? Peng can bring you the people you need for a very practical hands-on workshop that helps you launch your campaign.
This workshop is all about the joy of doing what you are not supposed to. We'll look at the inspiring people who've pulled off civil disobedience throughout history and explore its use from the personal act of defiance to organized direct action efforts in campaigning. We can also talk about legal implications and confronting your own fear.
For larger groups and closer assistance we recommend booking two pengs.
You can combine any two half day workshops to one full day session. If you have something totally different in mind but think we are the right ones for it feel free to contact us.
