Tools for Action
Delen
Since 2012, the group gives skillshare workshops in the manufacture of inflatable sculptures and how to use them for political actions. Tools for Action is a tonic of nonviolent resistance, tactical frivolity and the power of poetry.
The Mirror Barricade is a social sculpture consisting of silver reflective inflatable cubes that can be assembled within seconds into a barricade; when thrown into the air, the cubes turn the street into a playground.
The poetic and lightweight tools were designed by art-activist group Tools for Action founded by visual artist Bambi van B***n. The tools have been used to protest a Neo-Nazi march in Dortmund together with the Theater of Dortmund in 2016. In so-called Barricade Ballets, choreographic formations for collectivity and disobedience were rehearsed with more then two hundred fifty participants that were enacted on the day of protest.
In 2022 Theatre Rotterdam rebuilt a new edition in the context of Track R.I.O.T. (ready in order to) of Alida Dors: inflatable barricades from gold, turning the audience into active participants; practising self-organisation and direct action to conjure a shimmering future for all.

Contributions also by Floor, me and Patri Roa Johansen from Papaya Kuir.
