(en)countering crisis re:making futures

the repository of the undercommons (rotu) is an art collective whose concept comes from many places, pleasures pains. thoughts (un)spoken, whispers, theories shouts of joy/rage. 

it comes from all of us us all. from our repositories. 

as artists, we are also workers, constrained by systems over which we have little to no control, however, we can (and should) make political work (or work informed by politics).

RotU are currently forming as a network of anti-capitalist, degrowth decolonial artists, for mutual assistance, to share ideas establish a space which shakes up our understanding of the present the past. we are creating opportunities to (re)generate new old vocabularies of social organisation build better ways to create live together.

since the covid-19 crisis took hold, RotU are pursuing (en)countering crisis re:making futures; a collective programme designed to put people into contact with art, creating making, alongside the practice of liberation building practical solidarity with today’s struggles. 

though we had hoped for our (en)countering crisis re:making futures series of events to take place in real life (irl), due to the ongoing crises both related to covid and not, this will not be possible. however, as a group made up of individuals who are used to adapting, we plan to undertake (en)countering crisis re:making futures in a combination of off online practices.

each rotu member’s contribution will be released over the month of October for you to tune into.
