LIVIANA International Conference / On Line / Open and free access

24 Oct '25

DEAR FRIENDS on Wedn Nov 5th, my colleague Christian Anderson and I will be coordinating this session, within the LIVIANA Conference, organized by the Community Economies Institute and the Community Economies Research Network. It would be very nice if you could make it! I think the issues we will work on relate nicely with the work we do within this group. Best, Ana ---------------------------------------------------- SESSION 3.2 - ORGANISERS: CHRISTIAN ANDERSON AND ANA INÉS HERAS ACROSS HEMISPHERES: ARTS-BASED, RELATIONSHIP-BASED AND PROCESS-BASED KNOWLEDGE GENERATION 5th November (Wednesday)* - 2 hours CLICK HERE [1] to register AbstractThis session will take the form of a workshop, convening a space/time for conversation and sharing across people, geographies, and projects utilizing an arts-based and/or process-oriented approach to relationship building and knowledge generation. By arts/process-based approaches, we mean approaches that may not identify outcomes in advance, but that hold processes of relationship building and creative and collective open-ended engagement as central. Our title refers to both geographical hemispheres as well as to brain hemispheres, or any other hemispheres one would like to imagine... The metaphor counts for bridging different zones and finding what comes in between. We will divide the session time into two segments. During the first we will do activities, inviting participants to do these activities live, online. On the second slot, we will reflect on what transpired while we were doing the activities and we will also open a discussion based on these questions (some or all of these, as we see fit): How do you define your work (scholarly and/or creative)? Does your work involve establishing long-term relationships? (with whom, how, for what purpose, with/towards what outcomes?). How, if at all, do you deal with change and flux in those relationships? How do you negotiate dynamics of power differentials, if they exist (between participants, between people with different levels of security)? What different roles do different participants play? How do you arrive at your agenda/goals? In the above, according to what principles, using what kinds of protocols? In other words, how does collective decision making happen? Are you an equal partner in those decision-making processes? Why/why not? With what resources do you support and nurture this work? *Seattle 11:00- New York 14:00- Buenos Aires 16:00- Amsterdam 20:00- Nairobi 22:00- Bangkok 02:00 (6th November)- Warrane-Sydney 06:00 (6th November)- Aotearoa-NZ 08:00 (6th November) -- Ana Inés Heras ana.heras(a)communityeconomies.org Universidad de San Martín, CONICET, Argentina https://proyectodeautonomia.wordpress.com/herramientas-utiles-en-proyectos-… [2] Tweet @herasmonnersans Instagram @herasmonnersans Links: ------ [1] https://sites.google.com/view/liviana2025/program-registration/session-3-2?… [2] https://proyectodeautonomia.wordpress.com/herramientas-utiles-en-proyectos-…

Through the second Next System Convergence <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicmDiWWmGRlwux…> , <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicmDiWWmGRlwux…> faculty, students, and staff from more than 50 universities and colleges, as well as three dozen think tanks, unions, and civil society organizations, prepared for the Next System Teach-Ins this November. <https://nextsystem.org/about/> This gathering had double the participation of the one we held in April! As part of the Convergence, we were very happy to announce the release of a new <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicsV1jgPe3VF4I…>*Next System Teach-In Organizing Guide <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicsV1jgPe3VF4I…> *as well as the beginning of twice-weekly "office hours" held in English, Portuguese, and Spanish <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicsV1jgPe3VF4I…> . The Organizing Guide gives simple, yet detailed, step by step guidance for hosting a Next System Teach-In. Check it out: https://nextsystem.org/organizing-guide/ <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicsV1jgPe3VF4I…> [image: Watch the Next System Convergence II] <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicmDiWWmGRlwux…> If you missed the September Next System Convergence watch videos from every single session on nextsystem.org/convergence <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicmDiWWmGRlwux…> or YouTube <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.Khhv6i-A6kGAx4x-ts_8mjVs61WVJe6gv…> . One highlight was a session on *LA, DC, Chicago: Non-Violent Resistance and System Change* <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.Khhv6i-A6kGAx4x-ts_8mhPW0Mj45nykq…>, presented by Next System Studies at GMU <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCichL2tjnYTw75L…> and the Albert Einstein Institution <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.XaF8mXqsA6b2dSPmhsleMXMTmaNw0pShp…>. This session tackled community-based nonviolent resistance and the possibilities for system change in the United States today. *Jamila Raqib, Stephanie Brancaforte, Slobodan Milic, April Doner, Joe Guinan, Matt Nelson, and Ben Manski* took on the relationships between the strength of next system alternatives in these cities and their capacities to defend themselves against a hostile White House. [image: Topics Featured at the Convergence] <https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nTQp_FEIcSHl649vCJCicmDiWWmGRlwux…> On the first day of the Convergence we held a “Forum on the Next System,” featuring the work of the organizations and communities partnering in this process. On the second day, we held a “Next System Teach-In Organizing Conference” dealing with the practice and the theory of organizing a Next System Teach-In.
