Common Senses

A series of events and discussions about ‘the Commons’

In a time of sociopolitical crisis and economic austerity we are witnessing a renewed interest in the idea of ‘the commons’. From physical spaces to copyright law, ‘the commons’ is a much discussed and contested topic amongst academics, activists and creative practitioners. What are the reasons behind the re-emergence of these debates?

Common Senses is a series of exploratory events and discussions on the intersections between collectivity and communality; the right to knowledge and the city; shared experiences in and around the private and public sphere; existing and possible practices of resistance.

First in this series is Public, Private or Commons and takes place on 2nd of April with activist researchers The Provisional University and architect, filmmaker and researcher Orsalia Dimitriou presenting their work.
