The CUAL Research Group - Urban Commons in Latin America is pleased to invite you to the first seminar, "Urban Commons: Formulations and Experiments in Latin America," designed to establish a meeting platform for researchers, professors, architects, and practitioners involved in the production of thought, debate, and experience regarding the urban common. We understand the notion of the "common" as a collective construction and a political principle that proposes a certain communality of life built in daily practice, operating within the fissures between the State and the market. The varied perspectives and possibilities opened up by the common are explored through the articulations suggested by the thematic axes, using either descriptive or conceptual approaches. The event, as well as its organization, stems from collective work critically committed to building an equitable, inclusive, collaborative, and democratic society.
