Learning towards new models of sociability which includes, collaboration and co-production rather than competition. <BR><BR>This talk, delivered by <A HREF="https://www.londonmet.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate/design-for-cultural-commons---ma/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Design for Cultural Commons MA</A> course leader <A HREF="https://www.londonmet.ac.uk/profiles/staff/torange-khonsari/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Torange Khonsari</A>, will illustrate the tensions between current institutionalized knowledge and more fluid platforms where learning can happen. Communities of reflective learners and knowledge producers are essential for sustainability and development of the commons. Here, Khonsari will talk about the paradox between learning within an academic environment and public works' initiative School for Civic Action an informal and non-institutional platform for learning commoning practices.<BR><BR>Torange Khonsari co-founded the art and architecture practice public works in 2004, an interdisciplinary practice working in the threshold of participatory and performative art, architecture and related fields of anthropology, always engaged with collaborative methods and notions of civic in the city. Her collective practice is a vehicle that tests the academic research undertaken within her university teaching.
