For the first Masta issue we had a discussion on creative activism. For the second issue of Masta I hereby welcome you to add your reports, ideas, pictures, visions, and experiences to this PUBLIC BRAINSTORM ON PLAYFUL ACTIONS...

Playful actions can be big actions, such as organizing an art performance in the street, a flash mob or street party, but also smaller, personal actions like spreading your own written poetry, making sculptures of dead trees, etc. etc.

Did you do a creative, crazy, playful action? What was it about? How did it look like? What reactions did you get?

What playful actions would you really like to do? How would your dream action look like?

Don´t be shy and post your stuff!!!

Coloured stone pilars

In front of a big museum in Amsterdam you can find a small composition of four coloured stone pilars with the size of a gnome. They once where white and undefined small objects, but one night we painted them in colours so they became a piece of hidden art. Only carefull looking bypassers notice, but this simple act of creative freedom showed how easy it is to turn a non-object into something that makes you smile...

Treehouse

I would love to build a really big treehouse, in a really old tree. And then be a bit like Lotta, from the famous novel of Astrid Lindgren. Just sit there, a bit stubborn, and wait for passing people to send them something nice in a little basket that i let down on a rope, and then get pancakes in return.

Rocket Ship

Why not create an urban playground, where skyscrapers and city parks are nothing more or less then you make them. Turn them around, put them upside down or paint them. What would that look like.
Play with the media, make a paper in your own made up language, play with the language and write down everything fonetikaly (phonetically) .
Play with whipped cream on peoples bodies :S yeah that’s cool, or play with the way you look. Where a headscarf for a day. Paint a fake moustache.
Use language no longer to communicate but design your own way of communication. With whatever.
