Workshop: Collectively imagining co/living situations
Join us on 12 December from 17:00 at Framer Framed for the Collectively imagining co/living situations workshop. The workshop is led by yourfriendkas and Agata Guńka, who are part of the Co/living: points of entry project of the School of Commons. During the workshop, participants will collectively engage with shared living situations and their interrelation with spectrums of migration, gender, ability, health, cultural background, and others, addressing the current housing crisis and its implications.
This workshop invites participants to collectively engage with shared living situations. Using writing, discussion, lino-making, and mapping, participants in the workshop can explore ways of working, collectively imagine possibilities, and find commonalities in our many co/living contexts.
Communal living space is everywhere, even in an increasingly hyper-individualistic modern landscape. Building on the many existing ideas and practices of housing as commons, and the need to search for alternative forms of decommodified housing, the workshop aims to continue exploring the many sides of collective living, from financial and legal constraints to questions of the everyday.
How can we then think of collective living as an everyday practice? How can we learn from each other’s histories, feelings, associations, and ideas? What shapes our perception of what is possible, and what values do we want to see in the future?
The workshop is open to anyone willing to creatively participate in a collective discussion and create ideas for the everyday of co-living. No specific knowledge or predispositions are required.
School of Commons (SoC) is a global community-learning space dedicated to the study and development of self-organized knowledge through commons-based methods and practices, located at the Zurich University of the Arts but taking place mostly online. The structure of SoC brings together practitioners, researchers, facilitators, and activists from all disciplines for its main offering of a 10-month peer-led learning programme. Alongside the programme, SoC works with a broad network of partners who help to explore, shape and share the future of Peer Learning as an important strategy and method of lifelong learning.
Since 2017, SoC participants have led 140 transdisciplinary projects. The process and outcome of our research are shared via open-access publications, artistic platforms, workshops, talks, seminars, performances, and exhibitions around the world.
