TITLE Relational Surplus and Its Dissemination in Art SYNOPSIS
What are the engagement methodologies, autonomy and search for alternative livelihoods, model of dissemination of surplus in such practices? I would like to give examples of several different art practices from Athens to Kyoto that try to create a non-capitalist time/space organization as well as contributions to resistance movements in urban space.

TITLE Spaces of Participation: Stories of Economic Democracy displacing
Corporate Rule
SYNOPSIS
This presentation explores the use of New Economic Forms: (1) In service of social movements (2) As parallel institutions for increasing access to and participation in the economy, and (3) As a means of creating more resilient communities. We argue that institutions of economic democracy can play any of these three vital roles, and offer pertinent examples from our work with the New Economy Coalition, a network of more than sixty organizations working in various ways to grow a more just and sustainable economic system. We explore questions of scale in the hope of demonstrating that efforts to effect economic system change have much to learn from the local.
