plastic shaman attaya.txt

the practice of preparing and sharing tea is a recurring element of flow bene's practice.
they create a political space in which otherwise scripted interactions (exams, insitutions, exhibitions) would dominate.
their practice is influenced by the senegalese practice of preparing attaya and sharing in a group of people
and is alwas adapted to the specific context ti is practiced in.
it mostly serves as a way of breaking scripted interactions especially in institutional settings
and thus creating what they call "political space" that allow for the preservation and emergence of new complexity.
