LIVIANA 2024 - Recordings Now Available
The fifth Community Economies Research Network (CERN) LIVIANA 2024 International Online Conference was held Monday 4 November to Friday 15 November, with 28 sessions covering topics that ranged from diverse democracies and diverse economies, Indigenous-led co-design, diverse economies in more-than-human worlds, art-based practices, and decolonising economies.
Most sessions were recorded and are available here. Some recordings are in Spanish.
For the first time, some sessions were run in a hybrid format (face-to-face and online) and these included:
A hybrid Keynote based in Sydney and online
A CERN Latin America session running across multiple cities
A walk and exploration of collective lands in the Italian Alps
An experimental live community radio show in Norway and worldwide
A session on community initiatives related to the New European Bauhaus in Italy and Slovenia.
There were two keynote presentations.
The first was delivered by Professor Kathrin Böhm (Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences) and Dr Kuba Szreder (Academy of Fine Art in Warsaw) who introduced research and methodologies used by the Centre for Plausible Economies (which they co-established in 2018) to identify and foster interdependent ways of making and sustaining artistic practice.
The second was delivered by Bhavya Chitranshi who reflected on 10 years of doing collaborative action research work with Eka Nari Sanghathan (ENS, the single women’s collective) in the village of Emaliguda in Odisha, India.
LIVIANA is a decentralised series of exchanges and symposia that runs for two weeks each November, providing an opportunity for CERN members to connect and share. All sessions are free.
The event is based on the sense of openness, free-floating train of thought, and cheerful spirit that the Spanish term liviana connotes.
