Panel:
The current situation of worldwide instability combined with political
popularism and climate emergency results in a state of unprecedented
worldwide risk. At the same time, this offers opportunities as new
imaginative spaces open-up in a lived response to crisis. Faced with such
global challenges we are forced to rethink our relationship with the world:
the way we live, our needs, desires, values, aspirations and priorities,
and the ‘arts’, broadly understood, play an important part in this.
Thinking around ‘cosmopolitan localism’, moreover, helps us understand the
global as a series of networked interconnected locals in the form of small,
everyday life solutions that people can understand and control.
This panel explores examples of what we term ‘social making’: community
arts, collaborative crafting, social architecture and design, for instance,
and how they function as a mode of embedded, everyday activism to
re-imagine the world from the ground up and bring about change. This might
include, but is not limited to, explorations of community arts’ agencies,
the added value of design networks, the benefits and challenges of hyper
localism, how caring for things helps us care for each other, the health
and well-being benefits of creative making processes, upcycling and
repurposing clothing, neo-artisanal producers and the potential for more
democratic circuits of community-based production and consumption,
localised ‘ecologies of making’ and regeneration.
As such, the panel focuses on the agencies, knowledges and capacities of
ordinary people as they reimagine processes of living as embodied activism
by forging interactions between people, places and things.
