Lessons from the PENG! Collective Berlin creative social campaigning
Conny Runner is the author of the Critical Campaigning Manifesto, a political scientist who explores new tactics and strategies of political influence through art, hacking and activism. He is co-founder of Peng! (also: Peng Collective), a group of artists, activists, craftsmen and scientists from Berlin. As "masters of civil disobedience", the Berlin activist collective draws attention to social grievances with satirical actions and advertising campaigns. Together with Peng!, Runner has already posed as press spokesman for Google and Vattenfall in spectacular actions, started a weapon recall in the USA in the name of "Heckler und Koch" and organized a drop-out club for secret service employees. His works have been shown at the Berlin Biennale and the Athens Biennale, among others, and in 2018 he was awarded the Aachen Peace Prize together with Peng! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
