We are Commoners

A Craftspace national touring exhibition

Touring exhibition
2021-2022

The tour has now ended.

This exhibition invites you to become or recognise yourself as a ‘commoner’. Featuring UK and international artists, the projects exhibited in this exhibition represent ideas and resources to inspire acts of commoning.

You can visit the exhibition as it tours the UK or take a virtual tour. We hope that you will feel encouraged by the examples of co-operative action, to seek out connections with people, objects, spaces and your environment.

Here you will find resources for schools, things to make at home and links to videos and extra resources.

Each We are Commoners venue hosts Days of Commoning: events to explore the exhibition themes, through activities, talks and film. Find out more and watch panel discussions with artists and experts.

We’ll be adding more resources and information as the exhibition continues.
