Step 3: Go to "The Courier Bag Praxis of Friction" text, read and comment (on pad): https://www.janavirgin.com/AMZ/rocha.html

Step 4: If possible, try to engage with these questions (& document your observations on the pad):
- What are the fundamental political questions you found on your excursion?
- Did you find any personal connection to the notion/experience of friction? How does it relate to the experience/notion of discomfort, on your own terms?
- Did you find challenging discursive formations?
- Did you find any artistic decissions that called for attention?
- Can you identify any damage, from this particular inventory? what sort of damage is it? (examples of damage could be: extractivism, epistemicide, exploitation, exclusion, totalitarism, etc).
- How does this relate to (or affect to) your own artistic paths and practices? Why?
- Which of the recentrly read-written terms would you take with you to the collective glossary of the workshop, and why?
- Any extra thoughts/ideas/suggestions/doubts?
