We Are Commoners
Creative Acts of Commoning
7 May – 10 Jul 2022
Main Gallery
This exhibition invites you to become or recognise yourself as a ‘Commoner’. Featuring UK and international artists, the projects shown represent ideas and resources to inspire acts of ‘commoning’.
We Are Commoners highlights the acts of commoning that are shaping the way communities are working together to share and steward commonly owned assets and resources. In this exhibition, craft skills and materials provide a means to common. The projects featured demonstrate the need to imagine a more collectively-made and owned future.
