Roundtable Discussion on Commoning and Informal Education
With the weakening of state and market institutions, communities across the globe are increasingly taking control of their own futures, experimenting with alternative ways to share knowledge, skills, and resources to address collective challenges. How can commoning practices foster informal learning environments where knowledge is co-produced, shared, and distributed outside formal institutions? How can spaces of mutual learning and unlearning become catalysts for change, promoting more equitable and sustainable communities? Hearing from three local initiatives we will explore the relation between commoning and informal education in the arts, ecology and technology.
Guest Speakers:
- Wato Tsereteli, Center of Contemporary Art - Tbilisi (CCA)
- Data Tsintsadze, Napirze, Rustavi
- Levan Asatiani, Street School, Tbilisi
Roundtable Discussion on Commoning and Stewardship for Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage is crucial in shaping community identity and helping people connect with their past, fostering a sense of belonging. Today, historic buildings and neighborhoods face the risk of being reduced to mere images, losing the collective practices that reflect shared interests. How can critical care and maintenance for the build environment contribute to placemaking and new forms of collective ownership? In this discussion, we will explore two neighborhood revitalization initiatives and examine how both tangible and intangible cultural heritage can inform the social and material regeneration of our cities.
Guest speakers:
- Nika Gabiskiria, Kibe project
- Lia Bokuchava, ICOMOS, Betlemi Neighborhood
Moderated by Stefan Gruber and Tinatin Gurgenidze
