DISCURSIVE CAMPING interacts with each specific site where it takes place, collecting materials and opinions and presenting, discussing and dealing with projects (in video, audio, paper or other formats). We invite local groups as well as contributions from other parts of the world. It's a potluck, where everyone is both guest and host at the same time. Together we will think, drink, eat, speak, play and work within the contingent meterological, social, cultural etc. conditions and influences that my occur. After a while things will be re-packed again and the caravan will move on to the next stop on the tour.
