Text-Image Wall Magazine
|
| |
 |
Wall Magazines are twelve page A-4 sized photocopied journals conceptualised, editorialised, designed, produced and distributed in the locality by practitioners of all the labs. Wall magazines are put up on walls in public places, and distributed in meeting places like the grocer's or barber's shops in the locality. Discussions at the labs are around which topics to pursue, what tone to adopt - ie, what the vantage point ought to be. Wall magazines are a movement from an experience of being addressed by the world of the adults towards being in a position to gift something to the locality, and evolving a mode of addressing the neighbourhood. |

Posting on Lists
|
| |
 |
Postings have an improvised texture. Mails posted on the CM mailing list are often addressed to individuals, though meant for the entire group. They have references to gestures of peers, and nature of interactions with them, writings about immediate experiences that have not been made sense of yet, about encounters in the city while travelling from one lab to another, accounts of interesting incidents and conversations through the day, quick reflections and questions that everyone could think through. |

Sound Saanjha
|
| |
 |
Sound recording demands poise, stillness, an ability to disconnect, a performative competence. Listening to recordings is an act that demands a silence and an ability to move with the flow, to conjure up images, related sounds, voices, etc. In talking and analyzing recordings and listening, a world of recognitions of different absences and presences opens up. A group listening together makes journeys into the various textures of the self and the world. |

Hyperlinking
|
| |
 |
A postman moves through the neighbourhood delivering letters, sharing an occasional anecdote, accepting a cup of tea, or just rushing past. He delivers news, invitations, money orders, etc. How do we thread his daily journey through our neighbourhood? This practice of threading with stories, images and anecdotes into each others' narratives is crucial to the labs' practice of gathering and making sense of materials. |

Over the last six years, around 250 practitioners have gathered and created enormous amounts of textual, aural, visual materials. These are resources for both a new practitioner to the lab and also the more experienced practitioner. To be able to bring these materials into further elaboration, re-purposing and circulation, a certain ordering of the materials is in process. |
