Spring 2022: Economies
Community Economies & Philanthropy
In Spring 2022, Movement VII & VIII will tackle areas of economies, with a focus on community economies and philanthropy.
MOVEMENT VII: COMMUNITY ECONOMIES
(FEBRUARY 28–APRIL 17, 2022)
Participants: Orestis Athanasopoulos, Stella Ioannidou, Marcela Menezes, Theo Prodromidis, Felipe Steinberg, Amanda Vincelli
MOVEMENT VIII: PHILANTHROPY
(MAY 2–JUNE 19, 2022)
Participants: Julian Hetzel, Saba Khan, Georgios Papadopoulos
During Movements VII & VIII, we will collectively walk through two different paths of exploration leading us to a common space where both research threads will converge - our economies. Movement VII will expand the possibilities and approaches of a relatively recent, fundamentally relational vision of community economies that according to J.K. Gibson-Graham, Katherine Gibson και Julie Graham (2013) “prioritizes relationships and reciprocity as the true source of wealth and prosperity, a space of ethical negotiation and decision making (…) in which we place care and interdependence at the center, rather than the margins, of our politics”. Movement VIII will examine the role of philanthropy within the dominant strategic philanthropic model, as well as other forms like trust-based philanthropy, participatory grantmaking, regenerative practices and other experimental methodologies of philanthropy that are grounded in the core values of the process as power-sharing, social justice, equity, redistribution, transparency, and collaboration.
