AFIELD Study #3 Let's Share! at documenta fifteen by Elisa Cuccinelli

AFIELD Study is a series of co-learning programs led by members of the network on different topics.

Based on closed sessions and public workshops, it seeks to nurture synergies between like-minded practitioners, allowing for mutual exchange of skills and knowledge.

AFIELD Study #3 was structured around the meeting between two groups: grassroots initiatives that experiment with alternative support structures, and individuals who critically reflected on their role as collectors, patrons or philanthropists. It is often difficult to think about the big picture and the long term when struggling to ideate in “survival mode”. Our convening hopes to contribute to current debates on resource sharing from a wide array of experiences that allow us to think together about the use of networks such as AFIELD to elaborate sustainable sharing infrastructure. This reunion was the first one where a number of AFIELD members met “in real life” to celebrate and think together after 3 years of meeting online.

Samdani Art Foundation supported the travel of Bangladeshi initiatives to participate in this edition of AFIELD Study.
