The workshop will focus on the production circle of mobile phones. It will be a journey to the Congo and women's experiences of violence during Congo's civil war. We will talk about how civil war in Congo is related to our capitalist system and the production of mobile phones. Participants will have the opportunity to take a new look at their bodies, society, the capitalist system and to ways of using art as means of activism. www.missuniverseforever.com
