Bikestruments, the silver return
A local workshop hosted by a red-green political party with the agenda of promoting the bike as a preferred choice for transportation. The name of the workshop was “Pimp your bike”.

Giantophone
During my trip to Stockholm where I am participating in a workshop about forum theatre methods, I discovered this …. thing in the neighboring museum of modern art: a “Gigantophone”.
