# Abstract
This workshop aims to collectively visualize the invisible work running within institutions, communities, families, spaces and groups; to analyze the material condition of invisibility of those activities; and, finally, to rethink what are the value and values that those activities bring to the whole context.
Ps. The workshop can be done as it is, however it is warmly suggested to take a second collective moment in order to organize the workshop: RADICAL REDISTRIBUTION (link).

# Session tutorial
## Step 1: Introduction
Ask the participant to introduce themselves and to speak about a workspace[^workspace] they are part of (each one shouldn’t spend more than 3 minutes).
Ask the participants to introduce themselves and to speak about a workplace[^workplace] they are part of (participants shouldn’t speak for longer than 3 minutes each).
## Step 2: Analyzing our daily work-spaces! (20 min.)
Split participants into groups of 3/4 people and ask each of them to choose a workspace they are part of. Ask each group to analyze together the selected workspaces by looking at the different jobs involved to maintain the workers in work and the spaces in place. Ask groups to list each job involved in the workspace on a post-it. Guide groups to think work when it is visible and direct and when not. For instance, ask questions such as: “which invisible works are involved (i.e. cleaners, software maintainers, cookers)?”; “which works are the best waged?”.
Split participants into groups of 3-4 people and ask each of them to choose a workplace they are part of. Ask each group to analyze together their respective workplaces by looking at different jobs involved in maintaining the workers in those workplaces and the facilities of the workplace. Ask groups to list each job in the workplace on a post-it. Guide groups to reflect when a job is visible and direct and when it is not. For instance, ask questions such as: “what form of invisible jobs are there in that workplace (i.e. cleaners, software maintainers, cookers)?”; “what jobs have the best wages?”.
## Step 3: Magical discoveries (40 min.)
Put several 1.MAP-01 (link) at the centre of the room and ask each group to report back what they have identified as jobs through positioning the post-it within the four areas of the map: visible, invisible, waged, unwaged. Guide a collective discussion on the results of each map which aim is to point out the whole aspects that are running behind visible tasks and activities. At the end take a photo of all the maps.
Place several 1.MAP-01 (link) at the centre of the room and ask each group to report back the jobs they have identified by putting the post-its within the four areas on the map: visible, invisible, waged, unwaged. Facilitate a collective discussion around each of the maps in order to reveal those aspects that remain hidden behind visible tasks and activities. At the end, take a photo of all of the maps.
## Step 4: Let’s read (30 min.)
Start a reading group of “Wages against Housework” Federici’s pamphlet changing the reader each paragraph (20 paragraph). Ask people to stop after each paragraph to verify if there are words that have to be explained. If yes, stop and collectively discuss them for not more than 5 minutes each.
Read collectively Federici's “Wages against Housework” pamphlet, alternating the reader with each paragraph (20 paragraph). Ask people to stop after each paragraph to see if there are words that have to be explained. If there are, stop and collectively discuss them for not more than 5 minutes each.
## Step 5: Rethinking the value of values (30 min.)
After the reading group, bring again the filled maps (link) at the centre of the room and say to participants that they have the possibility to move one post-its in one of the maps. Invite them to explain the reasons for their choice. For instance, why do they want a task to be more or less visible and more or less waged? Repeat this process until maps have no transformations to add for the whole group. Take a final photo of all transformed maps. 
After the collective reading, go back to the maps (link) at the centre of the room and instruct the participants that they have the option to move one post-it on one of the maps. Invite them to explain the reasons for their choice. For instance, why do they want a task to be more or less visible and more or less waged? Repeat this process until the group has no further changes to make. Take a final photo of all the transformed maps.
## Step 6: Conclusions (20 min.)
Ask participants how they feel about the workshop and to start a discussion into their institutions, communities, families, spaces and groups based on their first analysis. Send them the two photos of the maps.
Ask participants how they feel about the workshop and invite them to discuss their own institutions, communities, families, spaces and groups based on their first analysis. Send them the two photos of the maps.
