Massimiliano Mollona, professeur au Goldsmiths College (Londres), ouvrira le débat dans le cadre des Rencontres de l’EDSTA sur la possibilité par/avec l’art de penser le futur. Il s’appuiera sur ses plus récentes recherches, publiées sous le titre Art/Commons. Anthropology Beyond Capitalism, Zed Books, 2021

In this talk Massimiliano Mollona discuss his notion of ART/COMMONS as both a horizon of radical imagination, and as practice of human freedom. Taking the distance from notions of participatory art, relational aesthetics or public art, ART/COMMONS reflects non-Eurocentric ontologies and epistemologies of existence as well as counterinsurgent practices aimed at developing a post-capitalist and decolonial future. Addressing the next generation of artists and activists, the aim of this talk is to develop common strategies, vocabularies, and lines of actions to prefigure and enact together life after capitalism.
