… When citizens, artists and cultural activists decide to collaborate and not to compete, thus breaking the boundaries between education, research and inspiration, l’Asilo is born… A cultural centre in the centre of Naples (Italy) that stands as a reference in the practices of commoning.
An enriching experience that takes us from citizen mobilisation in defence of culture to recognition by the local government of the free self-government of the community itself through a declaration of civic and collective use recognised and accepted by all.
The mini-documentary Commoning Culture was produced by Trans Europe Halles for the EU project Cultural and Creative Spaces and Cities (2018-2021). More information about the project at spacesandcities.com
