Making Worlds symposium at Momenta Art that was held during
Occupy Museum’s installation. 2012
Making Worlds was fortunate to be under the influence of the Spanish 15M Indignados and their fellow travelers from South America. Members of the Indignados contributed in the early planning sessions prior to the occupation of Zuccotti Park. Their understanding of community based assemblies and the Commons is deeply rooted.
Making Worlds: An OWS Forum on the Commons was a three day, international gathering of organizations, informal groups and individuals in February 2012. The full schedule is available at the linked OWS website.
The 16 Beaver Group’s August seminar Beyond the Good and Evil Commons was an important prelude to OWS. Silvia Federici, George Caffentzis and David Graeber were influential members of Occupy Wall Street.
