	We proposed to participants to put themselves or their collective or organization in the middle of the map. While reflecting on the question: "Who and what do you need in order to function as a collective as well as an individual within the collective?" participants started mapping their personal support networks. What defines a collective oftentimes expands those who are immediately involved. Collectives are porous structures that are interdependent and respond to changing conditions and relations. Many of us are enmeshed in various environments that support and/or hinder what it is we do as collectives.

	On October 18, we gathered for the first self-organized [re]worksession titled “Breaking the Organigram,” which brought together artists, cultural practitioners, and activists to engage in a critical dialogue about decentralized organizational practices, and their interdependencies. Participants were invited to reflect through personal experiences, approaches and modalities within/as collectives and self-organizations. Additionally we invited Taylor le Melle from the not.nowhere,1 a poc owned workers cooperative based in London, and Sarah ~~Payton2~~ from NDSM Art City Amsterdam to share about their experiences and practice in different groups. Taylor was accompanied by Daniel and Jennifer who joined us online from London.

	Sarah Payton has decades of experience in feminist collectives and has worked as a community organizer at NDSM Art City in Amsterdam. She spoke about her involvement in developing the prior shipbuilding warehouse into the conglomerate of artist studio’s that is now known as the Art City / Kunstad and situated within the NDSM Loods.

	The session concluded with the “Breaking the Organigram” exercise, where participants were encouraged to rethink traditional organizational structures. In an application for a multi-year grant we were asked to share an organization diagram (organigram) of Hackers & Designers. This type of diagram is typically defined by hierarchical relationships and strictly defined borders between different tasks and responsibilities. In other words, it imposes as a rigid framework. How do we confront the need for institutional and economic renumeration while remaining true to the fluid, often chaotic nature of self-organization, and making that more messy reality of collective work legible?

	Following up on this tension, the exercise proposed Mia Mingus’ pod mapping ~~technique3~~ as an alternative to the rigid organigram. This map comes from the disability justice movement.
