[Sitting Together]

When you walk into a pub and all the tables are taken, you are immediately faced with questions about sharing and participation. Do you sit down with strangers? Are you invited to share a table with a group of regulars? Particularly in rural areas, pubs are key places of communication and thus a social institution. Here we discuss aspects of belonging and identity. Closed down a while ago, the “Wilder Mann” pub in the town centre of Wildon will be re-opened over the weekend as a site for encounter and exchange.
