Paths toward Utopia: Asserting the Commons against Enclosures
DATE: June 23, 2012
Cindy Milstein, activist and author, reads and leads a discussion.

As the do-it-ourselves occupations that have swept across the globe from Egypt to United States are proving, direct democracy and cooperation are becoming powerful everyday experiences for millions, with people self-organizing everything from food to general assemblies. This compelling and quirky, beautiful and at times messy experimentation has cracked open a window on history, affording us a rare chance to grow these uprisings into the new landscape of a caring, ecological, and egalitarian society--a world of our own collective making and doing. This workshop will draw out some of the promise as well as dilemmas of the occupy moment in North America, focusing specifically on the implicit and at times explicit anticapitalist and antistatist lived practices of "the commons."

Cindy Milstein, an Occupy Philly participant for its first six months, is an Institute for Anarchist Studies collective member, author of Anarchism and Its Aspirations (AK Press), and coauthor of the forthcoming Paths toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations in Everyday Anarchism (PM Press). She has been involved in a variety of anarchist projects, ranging from the Don't Just (Not) Vote campaign and Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference to the New World from Below convergence space to Black Sheep Books and Station 40 collectives.
