# Abstract
This workshop aims to collectively learn how to visualize what is involved in each of our choices; to analyze the material condition of invisibility of the activities that we find behind what we do; and, finally, to rethink who and where we are in relation to our choices.
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: MAPPING THE INVISIBLE (link).

Tables, Chairs, Pen, 2 Printed map 2 (4.MAP-01; 4.MAP-02) (link)
# Session tutorial
## Step 1: Introduction
Ask participants to introduce themselves (each one shouldnt spend more than 3 minutes). 
## Step 2: We are not alone (20 min.)
Ask participants to choose a normal activity they do when alone (i.e. eating; make-up; nails; Bibliotheque) and to write it down at the top of 4.MAP-01 (link). Split participants into groups of 3/4 people and ask each group to fill all maps together. Guide groups to deeply analyse which labours and energies waste come before each activity. For instance, if I am “eating a tomato” push them to unpack all the processes we find behind a tomato in a dish.
## Step 3: Magical discoveries (30 min.)
Put the filled maps at the centre of the room and ask participants to report back what they have identified behind their simple activities, take 2/3 cases. Guide a collective discussion on the results of maps which aim is to point out both the human labour involved and the non-human energy involved. At the end take a photo of all the maps.
## Step 4: Lets read (40 min.)
Start a reading group of the chapter Consuming Suffering (p. 107) of “Against purity” Shotwells book changing the reader each 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. When time is over, stop reading.
## Step 5: We are not alone and useful (30 min.)
Ask each participant to fill 4.MAP-02 (link) by choosing an external activity to which they are related, meaning one of their daily actions is connected with. Ask them to write at the bottom of the map their action and to fill the map at the reverse. Regroup and guide a discussion around the upside-down perspective.
## Step 6: Conclusions (20 min.)
Ask participants how they feel about the workshop and to start thinking more frequently who/what is involved in their choices. Send them the two photos of the maps.
