Attention Labs "Test Kitchen"

18 March 2023

The inaugural "Test Kitchen" was a collaborative workshop dedicated to the development and implementation of new Practices of Attention. Participants experimented with scripts, guided exercises, manuals, choreographies, poems and other media as diverse forms of "structured experience." Through discussions and group activities, we explored the use of attentional practices in activist organizing, mediation, facilitation and the creation of social change. Our efforts produced over a dozen new Practices of Attention.

"I feel like I am leaving with my attention primed, and in tune with myself in the present moment."
"It helped me re-frame my thinking around the things that are important to me."
"It was highly generative, and it facilitated an opening up of attention -- a stepping back from the 'ruts' in my attentional landscape, ruts carved by the imperative to 'produce.'"
