๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐ are spaces, communities, networks, resources, events, actions, relations being made by queer people to oppose and build alternatives to the carceral, extractive, oppressive, capitalist forces in the world. As part of a research project between London and Hamburg, weโre hosting several events to find out what queer commons mean to different people โ they will take place at and in-between PARKS and โ as part of Cruising Mythology Symposion โ SchauSpielHaus.
“From one vantage point, “the commons” today might look like the proverbial dodo, facing extinction as a result of neoliberal privatization across the globe. The conventional idea of the commons, as a resource managed by the community that uses it, might appear hopelessly anachronistic in the twenty-first-century. (…) If both the commons and the political solidarity of commoners are being enclosed and distorted in such ways, why bother with the commons as an idea or a thing today? And why the queer commons? Answer: because queer activism – not to mention queer life – is a particulary rich resource for imagining, experimenting with, and enacting the improvisational infrastructures necessary for managing the uneveness of contemporary existence. Moreover, while not always labeled as such, grass-roots politics in the past decade or two, and queer activism in particular, looks to have been significantly shaped by commons-forming initiatives.” (Butt, G. & Millner-Larsen, N. (2018): The queer commons)
