A workshop on survival in the city. Dutch artist Doris Denekamp invites inventive and streetwise Glaswegians to think about survival in contemporary cities. Denekamp will introduce her Handbook for the City Wilderness, in which she collects tips and tricks for living in the fringes of big cities. The Handbook focuses on practices of recycling, foraging city weeds and other ways of creatively using the resources of the city. Within the workshop the participants will share their knowledge on alternative ways of city survival and will collectively produce a Glasgow edition of the Handbook.

Doris Denekamp lives and works in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Within her practice she aims to learn about and react upon our contemporary environment with its progressive neoliberal ideas and devouring capitalism. Through self-education following alternative curricula, and through collaborations with people from all realms of society, she tries to open up alternative histories and unlikely futures. In 2011 she co-founded of the artist initiative Informal Strategies. The work of Doris Denekamp and Informal Strategies has been shown both in the Netherlands and abroad in a.o TENT Rotterdam, CASCO Utrecht, IASPIS Stockholm and Metamatic TAF Athens.
