Recently, space - in its various concretions and manifestations - has become the fulcrum of social contestation: occupations of squares, streets, campuses. Encampments against gentrifications,
privatisations, commodifications. Test sites for new social
compositions, new forms of solidarity, new political openings. The
space is both the metonymy and the actual site where the processes of
capitalist capture of collective means of existence and secondary
exploitation of intense sociality materialise.
"Commoning the Space" presents and debates the strategies that the
cultural activists - artists, cultural workers, architects, students,
etc. - are employing to make those processes manifest, to bring the
spaces of antagonism to public attention and to mobilise a public
around them.
Starting from the experiences of struggle for the common, the
contributors will discuss ways to create a space in common,
interpellate a public around it, sustain new forms of social
organisation that come to inhabit it, scale and explode its
transformative momentum beyond its here and now.
