Event overview
Attempts at creating (un)common worlds in new cross- with Toby Austin Locke
In 2014, a group of activists obtained a rent-free lease on an abandoned and derelict building in New Cross. Drawing on the theories of the commons and commoning, the collective sought to open a local neighbourhood resource that was run horizontally and responded to the needs and desires of those involved as well as the local area. The paper will explore how I became involved in the process in a way that brought the practices of anthropology and the practices of commoning into awkward situated relationships which I attempt to encapsulate under the notion of commoning anthropologically. I will then offer a number of complications that emerged from this process and which reveal the uncommons to be both the possibility and limits of the commons
