RECLAIMING COMMUNITY PRACTICES: FROM FASHION INDUSTRY TO FASHION COMMONS / HOSTED BY OC.M

Commons are alternatives to growth based capitalist systems, emerging when communities collaborate to self-provision or to reach shared goals in fair and democratic ways. Assembly for a Fashion Commons gatherings are integral to how OC.M operates. These People’s Assemblies engage stakeholders, practitioners and concerned members of the public in participatory and democratic decision making processes. This October, we bring the assembly format to GFA24 to explore what a transformation from industry to commons might look like for Europe. We understand that this transformation in Europe cannot happen without solidarity with the global south. Come listen to diverse perspectives from across Europe as well as voices from the Global South as we attempt to form a plan of action.
