What possibilities material ise when the tools one uses can be shaped in accordance with cultural work ers’ habits and needs? Which conditions can be collectively defined\, an d which ones do we have to operate within? While there are no obvious or d efinitive answers to these questions\, they set a ground for experimentati on\, where the tools used for mobilising a space are part of the cultural work itself. This zine shares some of the approaches Varia has developed\, in collaboration with peers and friends\, that hopefully expand the imagi nation of what cultural life and work might be shaped by.

DESCRIPTION:Digital Solidarity Networks is an online shared listing of too

therness. It is a resource for individuals\, groups and organisations that
want to break out of the suffocating webs of Big Tech in their everyday l
ife and cultural work. In May and June 2021\, three public sessions were o
rganised which aimed to create a conversational space in which to collecti
vely relearn how digital tools co-shape our everyday life and cultural eve
nts. Collective relearning is a practice that emerges from an interest in
shared learning environments with as many teachers as there are students.
This publication is a documentation of the collective learning moments.

power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.

DESCRIPTION:Long before there were people in Charlois\, there was already
water. Water is always on the move and always finds a way. Historically\,
fountains were gathering places that occupied a central place in village-
and city life. Often they were installed to commemorate a great battle\, a
plague epidemic or some other historical event\, donated by the municipal
ity or a patron. Unfortunately\, Charlois currently has no working fountai
n. Niek Hilkmann and Anne Kolbe want to remedy this shortcoming and tempor
arily give Charlois a mobile fountain that is not tied to a single place o
r interpretation. After an opening ceremony\, held on the 2nd June around
13:00\, next to Varia\, the fountain can be seen during the weekends of th
e Charlois Speciaal festival\, in search of new meaning and appreciation.
