Can collectivity address the urgency of interlocking crises?
How do people find ways to gather and work together? Social groups, collectives, informal gatherings, special-interest groups, or political parties are each subject to their own terms of engagement. How do these terms foreclose certain possibilities, or open up new ones? The projects listed here endeavor to rethink how we gather and collaborate, in recognition of the plural knowledges and realms of expertise that are necessary to address multiple crises. If climate crisis, oppression, discrimination, capitalism, and colonialism are all mutually constitutive and co-dependent, the dissolution of these ills must likewise be multi-faceted. Co-conspirators envision alternatives through collective resistance, entwined political-artistic strategies, globally-distributed forms of strike and solidarity, consciousness-raising, and provocation through art practice and performance.
