Good Praxis celebrates successful models of collective resistance and creative revolution through a series of workshops, assemblies and club nights.
Good Praxis was founded in 2023 by Lars Holdhus. Arnau Sala Saez and Juha van ’t Zelfde from the need to desire the world differently. Events have so far been held in Barcelona, Valence, Brussels, Amsterdam and Malmö.
For Drifts Festival in Helsinki, Juha will organise a week-long workshop with students of Art School Maa. Connecting to the theme of Drifts Festival students will organise a communal celebration based on mutual aid.
As not everyone can participate in blockades, strikes or blowing up pipelines, mutual aid gives us agency to organise ourselves to meet the needs that are not being met by people in power.
Inspired by artist Toni Cade Bambara, who said “the role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible”, the workshop will focus on the students’ desires, abilities and needs to feel, celebrate and revolt.
