Creative Campaigning from Humour to Civil Disobedience

A call across Europe is made asking holiday-makers to break the law and give lifts to refugees wanting to cross borders. A bot army scans Twitter and enrolls sexist trolls in a self-help program. A drone flies over the Dagger Complex, NSA's central hub of signals intelligence in Europe, and drops flyers to persuade the 1.200 employees working there to quit their jobs. On and offline, the Peng! Collective drops subversive and spectacular interventions on topics from surveillance to social welfare. Through their actions they surprise with new tactics to generate debate in the media and mobilise people. Paul. Gloria and Nina from the Berliner group will share their best projects over the last three years and show how techniques like misinformation, impersonation and performance can be useful for activists and journalists alike.
