Clay Analytics is a workshop format that tries to approach the vocabulary that is touched upon in discourses around participation in art and design in a tangible way. The workshop was designed by Luna Maurer of Moniker in dialogue with the book Participation is Risky by Liesbeth Huybrechts (Social Spaces). It uses clay and light play to make hands-on representations and even stories around words such as participation, user and maker, hybridity, autonomy, authorship, community and so on. Via making (claying), the workshops initiate conversations and idea generation around participation.
