We will engage with group efforts to offer new visual approaches to hidden struggles within transport, data, and logistics industries—workers, stories, and vantage points that have been “ghosted” from dominant narratives. Through the concept of a collectively investigated counter-aesthetics we will examine how art practices embedded within or alongside labour organizing and social movements, seeing and sensing systems of power, production, and resistance. Beyond basic introductions of why we need different forms of public engagement with logistics, the conversation will connect sites and contexts from the Nordics to Southern Europe to the Middle East, asking for example how struggles against Amazon connect cross-border to struggles for Gaza.We welcome guests—a mix of workers, organizers, artists and ad hoc researchers—from near and far.Participants:• Michele Amaglio, artist (Bologna)• Bahaleen Collective (Aya Besio, Noura Salem, Elia El Khazen) (Jordan)• Peppe Dalesio, organizer, S.I.Cobas (Naples)• Benjamin Gerdes, artist and organizer, Ghost Platform (Stockholm)• Magda Malinowska, filmmaker, worker, and organizer, Amazon Workers International & OZZ Inicjatywa Pracownicza (Poznań)• Robert Ochshorn, software engineer and media researcher (Brussels)***The workshop is open to everyone.
