Cropettes Community Journal Workshop

The collective 100noms facilitates a co-writing and co-drawing workshop for the Journal des Cropettes, inviting local residents and passersby to share experiences of urban life and contribute through creative collaboration.

This session examines how social markers—gender, skin colour, age, disability, health and class—shape access to public space and the shared urban commons. Participants co-create texts, drawings and actions to surface invisible barriers, reflect on city use, and amplify marginalised voices while exploring collective practices that prioritise community and biodiversity.
