Im. Permanente Paradiso @ Not "Commoning", Not "Commons"

Not “Commoning”, Not “Commons”. Practices of Togetherness beyond Western Genealogies and Frameworks
This first iteration emerges from a collaboration between Agnese Politi (Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London) and Paola Pietronave (Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino), and shaped together with a porous, evolving team. The project operates at the intersection of research and practice, exploring how commoning can function as a method to support shared learning, mutual support, and situated forms of collaboration across different communities and geographies.
This event is conceived as a study session and moment of collective reflection on practices of togetherness, with contributions from Im.Permanente Paradiso Project, Fondazione Lac O Le Mon, Power To The Commons, Arts Collaboratory, Gudskul and House of Annetta, Land in Our Names.
In the attempt to open a dialogue and activate a community of practice between UAL and the Accademia Albertina, participants are mainly drawn from both research centres across different colleges and faculties.
This project is supported by the Catalyst Fund at UAL.
