Autogestion: Self-Organization and Social Transformation

From the Right to the City movement to the Transition Towns network, the role of self-organization has come back to the front stage of social, political and environmental practices involving activists as well as artists. How do self-organized communities search for »paths through utopia«? What is the connection to notions like »autogestion« or »horizontalidad«? How do these ideas and practices relate to the field of social sculpture? Which relations do these practices entertain with the global politics of e.g. climate change conferences? And what roles are artists creating for themselves at the confluence of micro- and macro-politics of (un-)sustainability? Isabelle Frémeaux, John Jordan and Shelley Sacks will discuss these and some other related questions.
