Formats to share and think together should be part and parcel of a discussion on ethnographic experimentation. In our work at #colleex we have been experimenting with meeting venues using the term open Formats.

What are they?

Our Colleex Zine #1 shows excerpts of attempts at answering this question, bringing for discussion the relevance of exploring meetings as pedagogical spaces for the apprenticeship of ethnographic experimentation. We argue for the need to document these ‘experiments in meeting’ so that they may travel, be learnt and reproduced elsewhere.
