Can we survive without the state or the market?

As the government withdraws from public space, small initiatives become visible, holding on to values such as sharing, self-sufficiency, sustainability as well as social and community development. What kinds of initiatives are emerging? How are you and I part of this? And how does all this influence the meaning of ‘economy’?

On this KSU/Basta! evening, artist Melanie Gilligan, philosopher Aetzel Griffioen and practitioners of local initiatives will discuss these and other questions related to “community economies”. This event is part of (Un)usual Business, a long-term research collaboration between art institute CasCo and Kritische Studenten Utrecht that explores community economies.

“Ultimately, I intend that all these inquiries answer a larger question: What can help us change the current political and economic landscape and enable us to overcome capitalism in favour of a new system in which accumulation no longer determines human interaction?”
- Melanie Gilligan (2012)
