Amazing social intervention collaboration...

WochenKlausur are a Swiss arts collaborative that was set up in 1992. I really like their ethos and intentions click on the link to see what they are about. The project that i really loved i read about in conversation pieces. They worked with drug addicted women many who had turned to prostitution and put them in a boat with politicians and journalists to have a conversation. Floating on lake Zurich out of the way of an official environment and cameras they were able to have a more open discussion about some of the issues these women face.

I think Art can have a massive role in bringing social and political issues to light and tackling them in a creative and productive way, these guys have got it right!
