You have short hair, a clipper and at least 2 mirrors? This workshop is 
exactly for you! You will learn to cut hair using 3 different clipper 
numbers and to make a contouring line. Bring a clipper and a smaller, 
palm size mirror with you. The door is also open for those who prefer 
taking a passive part. No clipper? Drop a note and we will try to find one.

Eglė is a specialist in taking care of her own haircut.

*Self-repair workshop series

Recent workshops on making penicillin around home conditions or research 
on how to clone own body opened up a relatively unexplored field of DIY 
practices related to experiments with own body. On the other hand 
similar experiments are often associated with AI within science fiction 
movies or novels.

One of the well known self-surgeries in “real life conditions” was 
performed by Leonid Rogozov. In 1961 during his expedition to the 
Antarctic, which at that time was not really an inhabited place, Rogozov 
performed an appendectomy on himself. While humanity is dreaming about 
space travels, it is often forgotten to think of “what if…” What if 
there is no chance to ask a partner for help fulfilling one or the other 
task? What if certain experimentation is restricted by law? There are 
also other, related questions, like: How far I can experiment with my 
own body? or Whom belong parts of my body if they are disattached from 
my body?

The new workshop series on self-repair is a reference to untraditional 
contexts where social behavior is excluded because of certain 
circumstances, or the contexts of malfunction systems, especially of 
those related to own body. Self-repair series is about an ability to 
identify and to fix own systems. Self-repair is also about experiments 
which might not be tolerated by society and which might rather be 
considered as unethical.
