Real time  project: Culture Camp's Jam will take  place in our gallery at=
 the main gallery area in Athens.Four posters will be  placed on the walls,=
 portray the  town hall's square surrounded by  multi-ethic / religion=
 populace. Thirty stickers will=A0picturize the cult  trophies of the 20th=
 century, thus, any kind of label and mark ( >from  McDonald's to Greenpeace=
 logos), that provide us with "cultural identitities".  The participants=
 will be invited to place every one of  them to the right spot of the=
 posters upon his opinion. Additionally they will  outline with a marker,=
 the line from the  prior spot to the new one. With this  action, we will=
