Conversation Across Commons is a three-days
symposium organized by KUNCI Cultural Studies
Center in conjunction with Made in Commons: Indonesian Iterations. This program considers commons
both as macro and micropolitical instances that
touch on perennial dialogues and existential debates:
on what does it mean to do things together, what can
we do with things we have in common and ultimately what relationships matter in the proper becoming
of, to tweak Nancy’s above quotation, “in commons”?
In Conversation Across Commons, artists, academics and activists alike are invited to critically
reflect upon notions of commons and commonings
as a double preoccupation in directly exercising
theory into action and teasing out insights from the
urgency of practices. We invite contributors from
different fields of disciplines, working with different
issues and based in different geographical locations
to prompt the three-day discussions. By doing so
our main interest is to yield a productive exchange
towards the valuation of commons as a shared-resource and collective site for leveraging commitment,
mobilizing solidarity and propelling sustainable
critiques against the evils of our time.
Ab o ut Made in Commons
Made in Commons (MIC) is series of experiments
on commons as categories in the making by ways of
doing things together and exploring what we have in
common. The first phase of MIC was held in Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam in 2013 where we
held an exhibition with artists from Indonesia and
the Netherlands alongside with a symposium “What
do we have in common(s)?”
The second phase of this project Made in Commons:
Indonesian Iterations involve experiments in conversation, reading group, research-action, residency,
and live-iterations with artists, art collectives,
researchers, and community members as an investigation on/through commons. The entire process
will be punctuated in the exhibition which runs from
13th–25th March 2015 at Jogja National Museum.

KUNCI Cultural Studies Center inhabits a
precarious position of belonging to neither this
nor that within existing disciplinary boundaries while aiming at expanding them. The
collective’s membership is open and voluntary,
and is so far based on an affinity to creative
experimentation and speculative inquiry with
focus on intersections between theory and practice. Since its founding in 1999 in Yogyakarta,
Indonesia, KUNCI has been deeply preoccupied
with critical knowledge production and sharing
through means of media publication, crossdisciplinary encounter, research-action, artistic
intervention and vernacular education within
and across community spaces.
