Urban Commons Commoning Practices. Co-curated by Ioanni Delsante and Tabassum Ahmed.

2 - 13 March, 11am - 4pm (Monday to Saturday)
Temporary Contemporary Happening Thursday 12 March, 5-7pm - all welcome.

Commoning actions and practices are increasingly taking place in towns and cities all around the world. They usually unfold via self-constituted groups or communities which act through a variety of means including temporary events, spontaneous interventions, un-solicited actions and the kind. At various stages of their unfolding these may be negotiated with local authorities/governments to allow occupations or temporary uses to happen within an agreement or a legal framework.

The exhibition aims at showcasing relevant precedents in terms of urban commons and related commoning practices. These are mostly small scale and low-cost interventions, built on a temporary basis, which ‘tactically’ aims at having a positive impact on cities over longer periods of time.
