Collect chaos, draft wishes was a workshop co-hosted with Samira Ghoualmia of Archive Ensemble in the frame of the infra:I festival organised by Bestand on the 2nd of August at Volkskundemuseum Wien.

Samira hosted a chaos reading session, which is an invitation to learn together through collective reading and writing. It featured several publications by Archive Books among other text fragments by Etel Adnan, Saïda Menebhi, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Paulo Freire, Sarah Ahmed, Serubiri Moses, and Keorapetse Kgositsile.
Then, adO/Aptive proposed a collectively exercised spatial intervention. The workshop created relations by drafting common wishes based on the connections made throughout its course.
