Woensdag 4 Juni, 20.00 uur in Studio Pakhuis de Zwijger
In the face of climate collapse, inequality, and failing institutions, many people around the world are turning to the commons. Author and activist David Bollier presents his new book Think Like a Commoner (2nd edition) to explore how commoners are creating new social forms to reclaim governance, land, food, and care, and much else to achieve what the market/state system is not: empowerment, fairness, sufficiency, eco-responsibility. In a follow-on conversation with several Amsterdam-based commons projects, we will explore: What does it mean to not only think, but act like a commoner in our city today?
