On Thursday 27 June and Friday 28 June 2019, in the Centre of New Media & Feminist Public Practice, the fifth seminar/workshop of the programme will focus on the Creative Economy and performances of the gender.
Seminar: Immaterial Work. Open work. In the literature regarding precarious and informal labour and the labour of care, within which the wider context of post-fordist production is understood, there is a shortage in bringing together, interlinking, gender with sex or gender with ethnicity and with class and class struggles. This seminar brings forth the inextricable relationship between women, especially young women, with the post-fordist production and their role in the emergence of urban cultural industries. We are looking for a historical perspective of the "small actions" of women of previous feminist generations, which have attempted to link creation to political action, which one could call "social enterprises", and to reflect on their prospects today.
Workshop: How we train in multi-tasking, in techniques and strategies of reversal from flexible and precarious workwomen to rightful professionals?

Five thematic routes across the cobblestone paths of Makrinitsa, introducing some of the most characteristic mansions, churches, water fountains and bridges of Pelion.
The project, which is the outcome of the elective course Narrative Trails, unfolds a playful activity for an on-site or off-site tour around the village. The proposals consist of an alternative "educational kit" suggesting thematic maps, collections of visual material and small-scale constructions to familiarize the visitor with the architectural heritage of Makrinitsa.
The event takes place in the context of the pilot project Designing [for] the Pelion routes that is held by the Building Structures Research Unit [ma[K]e] in the context of a multi-disciplinary collaboration between departments of the University of Thessaly and local cultural institutions.
