ecological practices and creative technologies for the new commons

ecologies, technologies | Jan to March 2023

ecologies, technologies is an invitation to learn with creative technology collectives who are growing ecologies of the new commons and exploring living alternatives to the relentless financialisation of natural resources (patenting seeds, trading water as a commodity).

These online sessions are free and open to all interested in sustainable, diverse ways of working with and understanding technologies on a damaged earth.

Featuring collectives from Latin America, Europe, Oceania and the Middle East, this programme invites growing solidarities with artists, technologists, researchers and activists from around the world. Each online session is a conversation around community activism, creative practices and technologies that challenge colonial narratives and embrace reciprocal relationships with the land and other beings.

Opening in January, we will learn together about seed archives growing a protected commons in germplasm, creative networks in service to cultural knowledge, and alternative economic systems for circus improvisation.

The May programme focuses on the technologies and techniques of creative resistance. This event grounds shared learnings across ecologies, technologies for social justice.
