THE GOOSE AND THE COMMON: THE COLLECTIVE PRODUCTION OF A COMMON WEALTH
Talk and Workshop
Facilitated by Fiona Woods (Art Wurker)

Limited to 25 participants*

This talk and workshop will explore The Commons, an emerging movement that has the potential to build social forms that can resist the attack of capitalist relations. Rather than proposing a revolution in the future, everyday life is the site of transformation for the commons. The idea of ‘common wealth’ combines social justice principles, feminist economics and ecological justice and is always collective rather than invididual.

As part of the workshop, the group will produce a set of zines/pamphlets that can function as a knowledge commons, which constitutes a ‘common wealth’.

Tickets:
This event is free but booking is required.
Places are limited to 25 persons.

"People in the Middle Ages, as now, did not only write in the codex: they designed a format of diverse shapes and sizes, as we do — some on ‘writing materials,’ and many in the world of things,” Wakelin said. He added that the exhibition “includes a large number of things that are midway between books and artifacts,” which involve writing or illustration, or the materials of medieval books, but are not necessarily a traditional folding codex."

'Designing English: Graphics on the Medieval Page' at Oxford's Bodleian Libraries considers how early English manuscripts approached graphic design.
