Collectivity pluralizes authorship, re-centers communal processes of cultural production, and co-creates worlds. And yet, the collective now is both a lived reality and a distant dream. Thus, this roundtable will engage numerous questions on collectives such as what are the knowledges and forms of commons that are produced in contemporary artists' collectives and artists' collective practices, and what is the horizon of hope and possibility for a more just and equitable world that collective forms promise.
