The Mexico-based artist cooperative Cráter Invertido’s workshop engages participants to document, co-create, learn and share their first-hand accounts and experiences of MM 2024 through writing and drawing. Participants will use specially provided notebooks to record important, interesting and remarkable aspects of the gathering. These notebooks serve as a shared space for collective brainstorming.

Through narrative practices, participants will translate their notes into artistic harvests—creative outputs that explore unexpected perspectives, alternative possibilities and collaborative sense-making. The workshop's second part involves collaboratively creating a 36-40-page draft text (2-4 pages per contribution) in A4 size.

Participants will learn Riso printing, finishing, cutting and binding for a self-publication. Approximately 120 publications will serve as an artistic memory of March Meeting 2024. This material offers an artistic and poetic account for participants, organisers and the wider audience.
