A provocation is a short audio or visual piece that raises a topic for conversation. It outlines an issue, and asks questions. It may be poetic, or hard hitting. Factual or playful. In essence it is both an advert and a structured starting point for a conversation.
A provocation is a short story designed with the purpose of provoking a wide ranging and diverse set of conversations at an event or happening.
# Types of Provocation A provocation can take many forms. It's down to the creativity of the facilitator to figure out the best and most stimulating provocation for the audience in the local context.
The medium is best performed live, while short videos, sound pieces can also be effective. Provocations are best authored and archived to create an archive of ingredients that can be combined and pulled out of the hat - as and when the opportunity dictates.
