The exhibition, We are Commoners: Creative Acts of Commoning, shows how shared processes, skills and values associated with creative making contribute to thriving commons neighbourhoods. This thought-provoking Craftspace national touring exhibition which highlights ‘acts of commoning’ comes to the We are the Minories’ pop-up gallery in Colchester on the final leg of its UK tour. Featuring both UK based and international artists, the exhibition reflects a commons-based shift in thinking from ‘you’re on your own’ to ‘we’re in this together.’
