Common Ecologies Autumn Gathering:
THE POLITICS OF AFFECTEDNESS

24-26 October, Barcelona

Please share widely! 🔥

Here's some info about themes and formats:

Can a politics of affectedness be the starting point of collective care, social struggles, and international solidarity? How do we build a collective capacity to act and the power to transform the world? What alliances, articulations, translations, and forms of attention do we need to seek?

After the Great Financial crisis we learned to ask: how do we built power in a crisis of social reproduction? Now we are in a planetary crisis of socio-ecological reproduction (planetary boundaries, spectres of fascism, technopetropatriarchal extractivist overdrive, genocide, and war).

We have seen the limitations of organizing merely from shared knowledge or opinion. Common struggle is rooted in collective care and interest. To notice these, we must see shared needs, not as some natural facts, but ways we are affected by social and ecological harm and injustice.
