It would be valuable to tackle the debate among (local) participants on how can urban commons and self-governance models be multiplied, enhanced, supported and protected in cities all over Europe. | Practical experience from our local context, and theoretical knowledge that I gained in my PhD on topics on commons, urban planing processes, bottom-up initiatives, and policy regulations in Germany, Croatia and Serbia. | Practices of self-governance and community governance of urban resources, even institutional examples of policy frameworks for commons, were reintroduced all over Spain in recent years - Barcelona en Comu, Ahora Madrid, La Marea Atlantica La Coruna, Campo de Cebada Madrid, La Pah, etc. Besides that it would be a great opportunity to hear interesting examples of urban commoning through commons governance practices and struggles for urban commons in cities all over Europe. | Raising awareness about the importance of commons, designing alternative proposals and publicly advocating solutions through campaigns and public events. | In the field of urban resource management, we focused on advocating for establishment of independent social and cultural centers, advocating for better public transportation system and bicycle paths, better care and utilization of public spaces, creation of urban gardens, etc. In the previous years we have focused our advocacy efforts in the field of management of public property. These changes should allow for municipal spaces (especially those that are otherwise empty or underused) to be rented under favorable conditions (or for free) for programs of public and communal interest. Among other things, we co-launched two initiatives: 1. KC Magacin, social and cultural center based on public-civic partnership. Old warehouse that is used by more than 40 CSO's and different individuals based on the format of open calendar. 2. Ulicna galerija, a pioneer venture of reconstructing and reviving ruined public space in an open art gallery. Street Gallery for three years represents a meeting place and one of the few places where alternative cultural scene can be presented under the open sky. | 1. KC Magacin, in 2007 first attempt, and then again 2014 and ongoing. Ulicna galerija 2012 - ongoing | 1. Ministry of Space, community members and Association Independent cultural Scene of Serbia; 2. Ministry of Space and local community | Both by donations, and funding from European Cultural Foundation, Ministry of Culture and information Republic of Serbia, Office for Cooperation with Civil Society of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, Secretariat for Culture - City of Belgrade, Heinrich Böll Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, Norwegian Embassy. | During all these years we have managed to develop a very large network of associates, partners and friends. This process is not yet finished, but evident progress has been made in developing program for use of these space, in it management, and in grouping of CSOs active in the field of independent cultural scene around common project. Example, only in 2016, Magacin was used by more than 60 CSOs than jointly or separately organized more than 1200 programs. | Absolutely! Majority of the citizens mostly struggle to imagine that they are able to change things in the public spaces. So, our job involves working in the community, getting to know lots of people and organisations in the neighborhoods and talking with a lot of the residents. Also, in recent years, by engagement on particular cases of non-transparent urban development (urban and spatial planning) that hindered public interest we draw public attention to, and mobilized or supported grassroot initiatives affected by particular cases of non-inclusive and non-transparent procedures in urban development (Don’t let Belgrade d(r)own and Block 9a - Preserve our block; Endangerment to the environment (Savski nasip and Save Miljakovac springs); Sustainable urban mobility (Ulice za bicikliste), Lack of access to basic services, safe drinking water and sanitation (Association of Presidents of Tenants); Forced evictions and other violations of right to adequate housing (Who Builds the City and Former Workers and Friends of Trudbenik) which helped us to enlarge the network and increase the visibility. | The issue of changing the framework that regulate this field was topic of several of our meetings and conferences, as well as the conference organised by the RS government's Office for Cooperation with Civil Society. We gained strong support for changing the regulation from Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities (SKGO) as well as the Office. For Ulicna galerija project we gained the support from City of Belgrade and Municipality Stari grad, and succeeded to change legal framework which now allows community groups or CSO's to temporary use public property and spaces. Project itself inspired 8 more galleries to be open in public space through out Serbia. | These kind of projects and engagements can be really good for helping to change people’s perspective of a place and space, and how we can build our city based on our needs. It is, also, very dependent on the personalities involved. It needs a lot of energy to do such a projects. We seek to visibilize acts of commoning by citizens for citizens, while promoting interaction with decision-makers and institutions on local and national level. The challenge is to overcome the tensions and to aim for broader socially just policies that promote institutional frameworks for favorable for these kind of initiatives. | No | No, not at all | Belgrade, Serbia | October 25 (Wednesday), October 26 (Thursday), October 27 (Friday), October 28 (Saturday) | Maybe | Maybe | Private room | Collective Ministry of Space | ||||||||

In Finland as also seems the case elsewhere in Europe, there is some growing interest on the part of public actors towards complementary/alternative currencies, in particular now towards blockchain technology. As long time complementary currency developers have remarked, there is a need also for complementary currency processes to interact with the new technologies, whilst pointing to the fact that the political project must be what spearheads any process. It seems that complementary currency and cryptocurrency people are increasingly talking together. How come to enabling processes with regards to alternative currencies in the context of strengthening solidarity economy and furthering of commons and commoning - what are the progressive experiences out there, what initiatives being developed (liked Credit Commons, Bank of the Commons etc), how does this all relate to each other, what does this mean on (european) policy level. | See the previous question.

Helsinki Timebank strengthens a social and ecological just local economy, in which everyone is of equal value and has equal participation possibilities. | Members of Helsinki Timebank exchange a diversity of services against time. The main guiding principle for each exchange is that everyone’s time, work and needs are of equal worth. Helsinki Timebank operates according to the internationally known Timebanking principles, and is part of the international Community Exchange Systems network (CES). Some 30.000 hours have been exchanged in the timebank since 2009. More then 3000 people are registered in the timebank, but perhaps one third has every done one or more exchanges. See Helsinki Timebank's ABC for more on its workings: https://stadinaikapankki.wordpress.com/in-english/helsinki-timebanks-abc/. In 2013 guidelines were issued on the working of timebanks in Finland, which has negatively impacted the timebanks development. Helsinki Timebank is proposing a timetax, operating according to the principles of its currently already existing timetax, and which could be extended to include also public service actors joining (approved by) the timebank. | 2009. On going. | Helsinki citizens | No funding | Positive outcomes as customary contributed to timebanking. However, in its objective of other economy building, in particular also in its want to be working towards solidarity economy building involving also cooperatives, associations etc. it has been hampered due to taxation guidelines on timebanking which came out in 2013 in Finland. | Yes. | Taxation guidelines (according to which taxation is to be payed on professional services received in the timebank according to supposed value on the market of the service). What could potentially positive support the initiative : Helsinki Strategy 2017-2021, other taxation guidelines (see below) | Advocacy efforts are tried to be carried out regarding solidarity economy building, commons furthering in Helsinki city. For the timebank in particular, the proposal for a timetax is put forward (working according to the currently already existing timetax in the timebank, which could also come to benefit public actors joining the timebank and operating according to its values) and this linked to discussions regarding the seperation of state and municipal taxes, which could have positive consequences for complementary currencies and the payment of taxation in the complementary currencies. | No | No, not at all | Helsinki | October 25 (Wednesday), October 26 (Thursday), October 27 (Friday), October 28 (Saturday) | No | Yes | Shared room ok | Helsinki Timebank | ||||||||

As an experiment in alternative economies, communities and learning models - it took Inspiration from other learning initiatives like The Trade School, The Public School, and Bürgeruni (citizen university) where all people from the ‘Kiez’, or neighborhood, were invited and encouraged to share their knowledge with others. It aimed to facilitate meaningful connections between people - beginners and experts, locals and newcomers.

I would like to gain insight in everyday practices and the culture of creating and building together. Especially when it comes to public space which is supposed to be open and accessible for all. | As architect-researcher and engaged citizen I actively take part in the creation of an urban commons on the Josaphat site in Brussels. I mainly engage in the 'sauvage' temporary use and the commoning today (the Josaph'Aire collective), but at the same time I am also engaged with the long term visioning of the planned Josaphat neighbourhood as a commons (the Commons Josaphat collective). I can share some of our experience in Brussels together with the insight of my architecture related viewpoint on the everyday process of (working on) the creation of urban commons. | Yes, I already visited and had inspiration of Campo de Cebada, esta es una plaza, etc | it is a collective of various community initiatives that have developed on and around the Josaphat site in Brussels | We are working on building a community out of the different actors and groups and to build toward a collective decision-making mechanism in order to support and strengthen our work on and around Josaphat. The "Maison des Possibles / Huis van de Commons" is a concrete collective projects we are working right now. Together we look how we can help each other and gain a stronger position toward the public institution that is owning the site and plans to develop it into a new neighbourhood. My personal believe is that through, the horizontal decision-making, solidarity economy, community-building, healthy foodchains etc. we are realising today we can anchor these ways of living and impact on the future neighbourhood. In the mean while we try to bring out "the commons" as a concrete and easy to understand concept to a wider audience. | on-going | Commons Josaphat, Jardin Latinis, Recup'Kitchen, ... | We are currently looking for how we can finance this collective organisation together. The different actors and group within Josaph'Aire have diverse incomes: small membership fees, incomes from the kitchen, crowdfunding, small subsidies, etc. | positive. We are quite ambitious but also really fragile. | Yes, bit-by-bit more locals find their way. However, it remains very difficult to reach out (time-consuming, not sure on how to reach out). It is clear that the 'open market' policy, although working, is not enough. | The occupation of a part of the Josaphat site happened sponaneously. We are currently working on building a constructive collaboration with the public institution that owns the site. In order to obtain a convention we created a non-profit structure (which was the birth of Josaph'Aire), however, we are still waiting for the promised convention. | We both work on concrete actions and interventions on the site. Spatial interventions show a presence and create visibility. We also invest in activities in order to open up (both debates as just fun kind of activities). In the meanwhile a couple of us are working on building a trust relation with the pubic institution. Despite all of this we still feel very fragile as we have no convention, nor legal rights to protect us. We could be evicted any day. The only power we have is the potential bad image this would bring into media. So we keep on focussing on being constructive and bringing positive contributions to the site and its surroundings. We are looking on connecting more to the neighbourhood as a way to strengthen our legitimacy.

In different roles; first as a governmental initiator/facilitator (Flemish government). Later on as an active citizen/project manager/activist in my owm city, Antwerp (Belgium). Since 10 years, we built up a multilevel, multistakeholder platform, 'Antwerp speaks'.

Next year ,there are local elections. I'm preparing to put the 'City as a commons' idea on the political and societal agenda. I bring lots of experience as an activist, I bring lots of positive energy. You wan't regret or forget. | For the moment I'm active in Antwerp, a little bit in other Flemish cities, I participated in a few European projects as active citizen ('I am Europe', 'Progress', ...). But I want to get more involved in European and global urban networks. Most of those networks are driven by civil servants, international ngo's, politicians, academics, entrepreneurs. I'ts difficult as an active citizen, 'local commoner' to participate, especially as a co-organiser. How common are these European and global networks? I want to think and create global commons... | 1) To set up a Co-city index, collect data and information, measure how common Antwerp is anno 2017 2) To reflect with different actors and stakeholders on 'Antwerp as a co-city': what are opportunities, a (legal) framework, who's 'willing', how can we speed up the transition, ... 3) Bring the idea of Antwerp as a co-city in the political debate, put it on the agenda of citizens, civil society, civil servants, politicians, entrepreneurs, ... (local elections in october 2018) | Antwerp co(mmon)-city quest' office is literally embryonal. For the moment it's only a conceptual citizens initiative. I'm working on it as an active citizen during the summer of 2017. I hope to discuss the idea with Michel Bauwens first, different urban stakeholders during autumn and with other cities during the European commons assembly. It could become a glocal network; local quest offices as well as a global quest office. Next year there will be local elections in Antwerp. These elections are an important milestone for me as an active citizen. If there isn't any fertile ground to let the idea grow, I have to reflect again on my engagement and focus as a citizen. On the local scale, or on the global scale? | It started 2 months ago, when Michel Bauwens released his report in Ghent. At that time I was participating in Progress in Barcelona: https://www.progress-project.eu/event2/. I resigned as a project manager at Antwerp speaks to focus on a new citizens initiative. I'm still chewing on my ambitions, engagament.

The discussion should take into account the fact, that urban commons in terms of collective ownership are highly unlikely in a context of ongoing financialization of space especially - but not only - in metropolitan areas. We should also avoid to just focus on the center and include the relation between the urban and the rural. | My hope wopuld be that by bringing together different experiences and knowledge about the possibility and already implemented forms of spatial commons we learn from each other about collectively managed and self-organized spaces with cultural, political and ecological benefits for the common good. The outcome should reflect the diversity of backgrounds of the participants and at the same time envision a shared goal. | I recently did a workshop on the topic "Sharing the City" at the TEH-conference in Pula. This is the description of the workshop: "We will discuss the possibility of urban commons. How can spaces be collectively used to also benefit the common good. What kind of legal and economic frameworks do we need to stabilize practices of commoning? We start from the thesis that urban commons understood as longterm arrangements of users are highly unlikely in times of privatization of public goods and financialization of real estate markets. At the same time the ongoing political, social, economical and ecological crisis makes the creation of new forms respectively the re-invention of traditional forms of collective use of resources and spaces more urgent then ever. What kind of practical models can we find to formulate alternatives? The workshop will depart from the concrete experiences of Prinzessinnengarten in Berlin, a social and ecological urban garden in the center of Berlin. From a discussion on the potential but also the limits of forms of inbetween uses we will arrive at practical proposals for new forms of collective ownership." | With the Nachbarschaftsakademie in Prinzessinnengarten we work with different local and international partners on topic like common, urban-rural-relations, social-ecological transformation, and forms of "collective learning" | Create a self-organized platform for collective learning, activism, and cultural production on topics like commons, urban-rural-relations, and social-ecological transformation | We organize residencies, public talks, artistic interventions, film screening and participatory research activities on the topics of the Neighborhood Academy. To do so we builded an experimental building in a two year collective building process: Die Laube (The Arbor). For the future use we are working together with the association "common grounds" on a concept to run this space together with other initiatives and groups as a spatial and educational common. Als with "Commn grounds" we are developing a local digital network in the framework of the european research project "MAZI" | Prinzessinnengärten started in 2009, Nachbarschaftsakademie in 2015 | We closely work with other initiatives and groups in a local as well as in a transnational context. All events and programs are open to the public and free of admission. | The educational work in Neighborhood Academy is based on a solidaritry economy. The activities are independened from funding and are based ob the contripution of time by the participants. The core activities of Prinzessinnengarten are based of a cross-financing model, in which commercial activities (like a bar and a restaurant on site) support the non-profit goals of the place. | We support the exchange and collective learning of networks oif initiatives. Right now we are working on models of how to influence political decision making in Berlin on the basis of this shared knowledge and experience. More then 1000 people a year take part in the programs hostet in the Laube. | Yes. We organize several public events and workshops. They include different formats, some more discoursive, others more practical. These methods include reading groups, public talks, community dinners, interventions and walks in public spaces, artistic programs and residencies, exhibitions... | We organize our activities in a non-profit association: common grounds. We are focussion on questions of land acces and democratic forms of land management (commons, long-term-leases, participation) because one of the main obstacle of Prinzessinnengärten and similar projects is the precarity of land use.

This theory was accepted to the point that in 2001 the principle on which it was based, called subsidiarity, was introduced in Italian Constitution (art. 118). Then in 2014 Labsus, together with Bologna municipality, drafted and started promoting a municipal Regulation which "translated" the constitutional principle in administrative rules. The Regulation's success has gone much beyond any forecast, and today more than 120 Italian municipalities, including some large towns, have adopted it and many others are going to adopt it in the coming months. | Citizens, both organised in formal and informal associations (i.e. street committees), Third Sector organisations, and municipalities, from the South to the North, in cities and villages. It is a social phenomenon, concerning hundreds of thousands of persons, all over Italy. | Caring for urban commons does not require great funds, but where funding is needed, citizens tend to tax themselves for the small sums needed to carry on the action. And also there can be donations and other help from foundations, enterprises, and so on. If you work for the general interest funds do come. | The main outcome of shared administration of urbani commons is not so much in terms of maintenance, but rather in terms of recreating community bonds, sense of belonging, civicness, integration, solidarity....in sum, active citizens when taking care of urban commons promote trust among people and with the institutions. | As said above, the Regulation has unleashed the energies of hundreds of thousands of citizens all over Italy. It is, above all, and basically, a social phenomenon, of which the Regulation is only the legal instrument. | As has been said above, the legal framework represented by Labsus' Regulation is a fundamental instrument to support and promote active citizens' initiative in takin care of urban commons. | The main problem today, after 3 years of promoting shared administration of urban commons, is connecting all the initiatives which are proliferating all over Italy, coordinating them to avoid repetition of mistakes by active citizens in their relationship with municipalities and above all to give them more force through imitation of best practices. | No | Yes, partial contribution | Rome, Italy | October 25 (Wednesday), October 26 (Thursday), October 27 (Friday) | No | No | Private room | Municipal regulation for shared administration of urban commons, drafted and promoted by Labsus - Laboratorio per la sussidiarietà, Italy. | |||||||||

Being a cultural anthropologist it is very important for my personal research to get to know various angles related to the issues I am working on ( Such as Sustainability and Urban development) in order to put in practice suggestions and strategies that are being used in similar contexts. Besides, since Madrid is developing into a hub for Urban Development I want to meet in person people behind this transition and exchange ideas and practices. | I just finished my master degree in Cultural Anthropology;Sustainable Citizenship while my personal research is on Social Sustainability and Urban contexts in transition while protecting and handling various cultures in Amsterdam. I will absolutely contribute my insights stemming from a lot of international experience combined with my strong affinity about cultures and multiculturalism. Over the past 4 months I have been writing articles on the International platfrom of 'New Europe-Cities in Transition' of Pakhuis de Zwijger, cultural organization based in Amsterdam. Therefore, my knowledge and experience in researching themes such as Sustainability, the Commons, Interculturalism, Transitions, Migration and Socio-Cultural transformations can be a valuable asset to this assembly. | Culture as a strand of the Commons is a highly debated issue in Amsterdam where I am working and living due to its international, multicultural and diverse audience. In fact though, this suggests an issue that is greatly increasing within Europe due to the constant peoples 'on the move' and the facilitation of free movement of people, services and goods. | To investigate how Amsterdam and Pakhuis de Zwijger (cultural org) contribute to the city's Social Innovation, Active Citizenship and Transition. Further to that, my research suggests of my recommendations on a better planning with regards to Transformations, Integration, Social Innovation and policy-making. | Through a series of interviews with people from both within and outside the cultural organization and the city of Amsterdam I came to realize to what degree this city adresses societal problems. To what extent there is Social Innovation and Inclusion in the city proves the high degree of the neoliberal aspect of Amsterdam. The interviews that I did together with extended participant observation and deep analysis of various case studies I managed to analyze and prove how Amsterdam citizens are treated to when it comes to the Commons with a special focus on Cultural services and their access to them. For example, limited access to knowledge, debate centers and topics that do not attract their daily interest. | Beginning of February until August 15. | I worked together with (partners) people from Pakhuis de Zwijger as well as people (participants) from outside, such as initiators of bottom-up ititiatives and city-makers. | Self-funded.

The start in 2012, came about through the rather unconventional format of a public dissecting (‘working tables’) of the background of this structural entanglement, and of the possible ways out that could be born out of (and empowered by) local specificities and necessities. It aims at building an actual demonstration prototype, but more importantly and further than that at a replicable approach that can be relevant to other cities and towns in Serbia. The Smarter Building model comprises the following main principles: no developer involvement, mutual ownership, collective finance, communal living, energy saving, (partial) self-construction and open source. | In 2012, still ongoing. | Citizens collective. | So far we through small yearly budget provided by Heinrich Böll Foundation, and occasional budgets from other sources like Creative Industries Fund, Netherlands or European Cultural Foundation. | The group involved with Smarter Building meanwhile has outlined a series of approaches necessary to introduce affordable, non-speculative housing in Belgrade, taking into consideration the capacity of people to resolve the housing issue through collective ways of organising. Among the main challenges of realising Pametnija Zgrada are the relation to public authorities and the limited possibilities of gathering together the necessary starting capital.

In each of the buildings, part of the space has been set up as a common resource for use by the people in the buildings, in the street or the neighbourhood - without burdening these spaces with financial costs. City in the Making draws on the spirit of the historic housing co-ops, but equally on the practices of commons, open source maker communities and localised urban economies. Principles that we are aiming at are: no speculation with living and working spaces, low-threshold affordability, living space is part of a wider “infrastructure”, partial independence from large economical systems, collective way of organising with enough freedom for individual needs. | 2014 opening the first building, ongoing | Community of inhabitants and users, partner - housing corporation Havensteder. | Initiall fund from the owner to open the first two buildings, from then on affordable rent from the inhbaitants/usres contributes to opening common spaces for free, also to wider community (street, neighburhood). | City in the Making has been recognised (awarded) for its “strategic answer to numerous empty buildings in hands of housing corporations (…) creating in an intelligent way a serious and innovative change to the current (real-estate) system." Three years on, we see our challenge beyond “temporary vacancy management” and aim towards permanence in affordable housing and working spaces in collective ownership and governance. And possibly even a step further: a long-term socially and economically sustainable life, including an internal income. Our first serious attempt in this did not succeed. | Yes. From people living/using the buildings to direct neighbours - by opening up common spaces. | As a result of the financial crisis one of the social houing providers (Havensteder) became open to test differnt approaches to activate its stalled realestate. Deminishing of the crisis makes this approach less interesting for them. | In order to achieve long-term affordable housing and to work in a way different to that towards which the real-estate market is luring us, the next step for City in the Making is to go beyond the temporary exploitation of the vacant properties that have been put at our disposal as a consequence of the crisis. | No | No, not at all | Belgrade or Rotterdam | October 25 (Wednesday), October 26 (Thursday), October 27 (Friday), October 28 (Saturday) | Maybe | Yes | Private room | City in the Making, Rotterdam | |||||||||

Most of the people involved in our network is creating concrete commons activities, the big question is, do they define themselves as belonging to the commons movement?

It is a change process that rethinks and redoes how we live, work and learn in Europe. Thus, during their activities members bring their individual and local expertise to the collective question of ‘How can our diverse practices create a more meaningful quality of life in Europe’. | We organize 2 network meetings per year and participants can genererate translocal initiatives to prototype transformational practices. There is a website to share the generated knowledge with a wider community. www.citizenslab.com | It started in MArch 2016 and will continue at least for another year in a more open format (no membership and no network) but as a forum and based on resonance principles. | Participants are about 60 active change makers from about 24 countries active in different sectors and thematic areas (arts and culture, urban transformation, education, social inclusion, governance and public authorities, ..). | In its pilot phase it was funded by Stiftung Mercator, Robert Bosch Stiftung and European Cultural Foundation. | A strong connection among C-Lab participants was created and they started to reflect on the collective dimension of their local practices. A systemic change approach started to be introduced and participants´ awareness on their responsibility to work/act for the common good not only on the local dimension is the pivot mental shift for greater societal transformation. Local actors expressed their need for international spaces to reflect, exchange, learn from each other, fail with each other and recharge their batteries. What is difficult is t keep the community vibrant, sustainable and cosntantly active. Iven if we do have an online platform for communication and participatory decision-making processes the physical distance is affecting the actual committment.

We work against discrimination and racism on that level by raising he consciousness of the citizens about the Roma historical and contemporary presence in Swiss and European societies. | We are working with the tools of performance, media and graphics. Our first performance took place in an Offspace in Zurich, followed by regular public interventions in art and political contexts with more and more public and / or participants. To transform the status of the Roma population in Swiss and European societies we create fresh imagery and new associations for contemporary Roma existence as in Dada Roma Esthetika Avantgarde. We claim inclusion while keeping multiplicity and diversity on all levels by liquifying borders between groups, minorities and nations and mobilizing the energy which has long fossilized the image of the Roma into stereotypes. Aside from our artistic practice, we participate politically in negotiations with the Swiss Federal Office of Culture (BAK) on the recognition of Roma, Sinti and Yenish communities as cultural minorities in Switzerland. For diverse projects we are working with changing complies like the NGO's Society of threaten people in Bern or Institutions like Universities and with professionals from theory, theatre, graphic design and music. | Zurich 2013; its is an on-going process | Mo Diener founder and artistic lead, from Switzerland / Mustafa Asan, communication and cultural agent from Macedonia / Milena Petrovich, actress from Serbia and many complizes | The group is self financed; some projects are founded | we made Roma art and culture an issue in the artworld, in cultural contexts and in political struggles for citizen rights in Zurich. We were involved in Manifesta Parallel Events and invited into the Kunsthaus Zurich (Europa. the Future of History) or in the Art Museum Basel (De-colonize institutions symposium) or other gatherings. We are unique in the art scene in Switzerland and if I am not mistaken in Europe.We simply do our job, but because of the system it is such a rarity to meet Roma people in the common art field. nevertheless we got very positive reactions. We could organise the symposium Open Theory Lectures were feminist art critic Dr. Suzana Milevska was one of the prominent speakers , we had people from Berlin (RomArchive) to mention just two of 8. This Symposium has taken place September 2016. It was a great event with a high quality discourse, but the local support was very small.We are needing a lobby; we need attention and support, also financially, to be able to continue to work. I am not willing to reduce the circle of our activities in a certain cultural ghetto of only Roma Art or activities. Therefore I am very happy to be part of the Madrid events, looking forward to exchange ideas and knowledge with people around ECA and Transeuropa Festival. We need your interest, need to learn how to connect, communicate safely and support initiatives. We have different positions in our collective yet i am claiming for right and justice and participation beyond the claims of one minority, I am claiming for an intersectional view of the problematics. | With the participative Detox Dance performance people were very supportive; We made a lot of contacts and there was a discourse starting about the toxifiying situations in political and social climates and strategies to fight the levels of toxification. | Permissions for public performances in the city of Zurich are difficult to get; we were planning to perform on squares; play music - it was impossible. The city of Zurich was financially supporting the project, at the same time we were practically not able to perform the way we planned it; the only possibility was institutional framing. the same we experienced with our poster action 1 Roma Manifesto - to make the city aware of our presence we have to become illegal. | We need an international network, a lobby which understands the need of the decolonizing activity we do on an institutional level in the field of art now in Switzerland. Its all about workshops in safe spaces - learn from each other, analyse the visual language and artistic strategies and activistic claims to empower a community or group of visually interested people. We will write new manifestos. All activities are needed to strengthen the members of the initiative and the participants of the workshops. Politically the winning of the claim for recognition of the Roma as a Minority in Switzerland and in EU countries would give a legal chance to blame discrimination, hatred and aggression against Roma in a state. It would hopefully be a transitory political status until education and professional chances would change the desperate situation for many.

KAA Gent is the first and only club in Belgium, and one of the few around Europe, to have taken a commons approach to ownership, governance and structure. We will explore this commoning practice through the lens of sport to get us all thinking about the commons in and beyond the field of football. How can we draw on this case to encourage the replication of such practices, but also to draw parallels to opportunities for developing, creating, maintaining, and sustaining the commons in other areas. Out of these discussions and sessions, we will document the Voetbal in de Stad model as an example of a best practice as part of developing a ‘SPORT Commons’ publication. | Sports and art are disciplines that are set in the field of representation. They are meant to be fiction so they don't radically interact with what is meant to be non fiction, reality. There are spaces created to contend art and sports and then they are shown as an spectacle. Contemporary art and modern sport where redefined during the end XIX beginning of XX century taking as an example the greek/roman culture. As reactionary as they could seem sports and art are becoming more and more obsolete following rules and working on spaces and structures which are totally regulated. But because they are meant to represent the best balius of society they keep impermeable. | There is no such separation between mind and body. The body is a fast learner and already knows a lot. Just let it be so u can question every decision it takes. For me, only when the body learns a movement it becomes movement. Knowledge come from experience. Sport and Art are controlled environments for experience They should be taken off the leisure time and should be deregulated. I truly believe that sports are a way to learn how to deal with the physiological and chemical reactions of the body, question hierarchies, structures and identities. I suffer violence every day. It's easy for a young artist to become indigent. I am not that young any more. I like to sit on public benches but police usually comes over when I am sit for too long. I used to be an artist but i am not an "artist" anymore. I still like to work with some artist and in certain circumstances. I like to talk about art projects but i do not like to talk about art structures. Sadly I end talking about art structures a lot. Probably It is important. Sometimes I still like to complain but must of the time i complain about other people problems. I kind of enjoy gossip. I need sports to keep my mind clear. I believe museums are too cold but too hot, like when u see a guy pretending to be straight in a mainstream gay porn movie. I believe opposite to museums, that are just masculine, sportscenters are oversexualiced. I was a porn actor. I have been a hustler white in Asia. I am HIV+ josebegega.net | There are museums and sports centers in every corner in a form of propaganda of modernity, wellfear society and the Enlightenment. | The proyecto has been going in parallel to my artistic practice. My self: 10 days travel that the artist made on foot from Barcelona to Almería. During the trip there was an unexpected constant, the fences, bars or natural barriers that prevented me from moving from the road to the forest, from the forest to the orchard, from the orchard to the highway, from the highway to the party, from the party to the road. I arrived late to the art festival to which he had been invited. Campo de Desconcentración Polivalente, Almería, 2018. Nauestruch, Sabadell, 2018. The project is still going on. I met Zeljko few years ago. We participate in the exhibition The Only Gay in the Village with a project about Queer Sports at Roodkapje, Rotterdaam, 2011. He was a strong influence at the time. I felt that He expected more from me than i was able to deliver. Yes, sport and art discipline and punish. Later on... I met a guy who told me about a horse called Astro that he knew from Dressage Riding Sport. I tried to make connection between Dressage Riding Sport, masculinities, and the text Companion Species. It was part of the exhibition SUPERVISIONS mirades necesàries, curated by Jordi Pallarès, Palma Photo’14 The horse was doped with steroids to keep competing.

Sport and Art are controlled environments for experience They should be taken off the leisure time and should be deregulated. I truly believe that sports are a way to learn how to deal with the physiological and chemical reactions of the body, question hierarchies, structures and identities. | Rethinking sport and art structures. | Sport normative, some art structures. | A Sport Camp could be an attempt to dissolve the limit between body and mind and should become very physical. | No | Yes, whole cost | Oviedo, Asturias | October 26 (Thursday), October 27 (Friday), October 28 (Saturday) | Yes | Yes | Shared room ok | Commons, Sport and Art | |||||||||
