<br>> Dear colleagues,
<br>>
<br>> we want to draw your attention and invite you to participate to the
<br>> workshop: /Commoning Design and Designing Commons/, which will take
<br>> place at the next Participatory Design Conference (PDC) 2020
<br>> "Participation(s) Otherwise", in Colombia (Manizales).
<br>>
<br>> In this workshop, we aim to explore the relevance of the /commons /(as
<br>> an objective) and /commoning/ (as a way of doing and being) for
<br>> Participatory Design activities, especially for those that aim
<br>> seriously and critically at supporting sustainable futures for all
<br>> (not only humans). There seems to currently be a lack of
<br>> infrastructures to cultivate and care for commoning approaches. The
<br>> available technologies, spaces and organization principles are mainly
<br>> focused in dealing with scarcity and private property. There is a need
<br>> to look for broader spectrum issues, not to run the risk of making it
<br>> too easy to abuse resources, too difficult to make contributions, or
<br>> embrace pluralities. Furthermore, issues of passing on ‘best
<br>> practices’ related to commoning seem to always pose challenges. The
<br>> need to connect commoning practices to the variety of cooperative
<br>> subjects transforming our society is also urgent [20]. Based on the
<br>> above, we seek contributions that highlight, reflect and raise
<br>> awareness around some of these questions:
<br>>
<br>>   * How can we design better infrastructures and frameworks that
<br>>     enable, mediate, protect, and foster the emerging and increasingly
<br>>     complex commoning practices?
<br>>   * What new design vocabulary, principles, policies, guidelines, and
<br>>     practices are needed to contribute to co-designing commons? How to
<br>>     connect this vocabulary with the one of feminism,
<br>>     environmentalism, indigenous movements, and the other
<br>>     transformative movements populating our common world?
<br>>   * How to articulate collaborative practices with sharing resources
<br>>     in the long run? What kind of alliances need to be made? Which
<br>>     ones should be unmade?
<br>>   * How to deal with the contradictions that arise from cultivating
<br>>     commons in capitalist societies and in individualistic cultures?
<br>>   * What is to be learned from activist commoners globally already
<br>>     experimenting with and applying new practices of commoning?
<br>>   * What other commons-based practices can we learn from indigenous
<br>>     knowledge and sharing traditions?
<br>>
<br>> Our intention is to continue ongoing efforts to link discussions and
<br>> research done in a commoning framework to collaborative practices
<br>> found in design around (more established) human but also (emergent)
<br>> planet centred design, participatory design and open design, and in
<br>> line with the PDC2020 theme, for Participation(s) otherwise.
<br>>
<br>> *How to participate:*
<br>> Interested participants can send a brief position paper reflecting on
<br>> a current project or case on the theme /commons/commoning/ and
<br>> /participatory design/ (1 A4 page case/project presentation, in PDF,
<br>> to be extended if accepted to workshop) to both:
<br>> Joanna (jsaa@itu.dk) and Giacomo (gipo@itu.dk), with the e-mail
<br>> subject: "PDC2020: Commoning Design WS"
<br>>
<br>> Deadline for position papers is *30th March*
<br>> Selected participants will be informed by *15th April*
<br>> The full-day workshop will be held on *15th or 16th June* (tbc soon on
<br>> website)
