Netherlands At CHA4OS Theory we aim to provide and foster creative safe spaces for community, learning, and reflection through making. We started out by trying to make sense of the chaos all around us, on an A4 sheet of paper (through zines!) but now we plan to experiment with even more mediums and formats. We design workshops and sessions for a variety of audiences that help participants engage with and reflect on complicated topics like growth and identity, through creative making!

We design workshops and sessions for a variety of audiences that help participants engage with and reflect on complicated topics like growth and identity, through creative making! I started CHA4OS in mid-2020 and held sessions as part of the zine collective Zinedabaad. Now, as of November 2021, it exists on its own. The best way to truly understand what we are about is to attend one of our sessions! They are for EVERYONE and require no prior skills or knowledge.

In specific I, - Helped with keeping the space open and assisting students and visitors in the space by working at the desk. - Worked on projects and helped facilitate brainstorming and design thinking workshops for clients. - Organised and held various talk and event series including the Sustainability Series which so far has run for two years and aims to help people understand more about their impact and the differences they really can make. For these events I helped with conceptualizing and planning and was in charge of the logistics, in online and offline settings. I also worked on the social media marketing strategy and content.

Visualising your Purpose at XL4W Conference for Women Leaders in July 2021. Additionally, I held a monthly zine club at @zinedabaad (an Instagram-based zine collective) called cha4os theory - making sense of the chaos on an A4 sheet of paper. The first six months involved introspective and exploratory zine workshops on themes like Growth, Identity, Taking Up Space, and others. Currently, a new format called cha4os talks is in progress. Here different experts and researchers are invited in to present their work as inspiration for people to reflect on their lives, the connection to or lack of research, and the content they learn itself. All the zine workshops have no barrier to entry and are meant for anyone who wants to explore themselves and the world via a new medium. CHA4OS Theory now exists on its own and we continue to foster Creative Safe Spaces. More information here - https://cha4ostheory.com Show less
