    Description

    Trade Test Site and Aarhus Univeristy have collaborated to bring to light the community economies of Aarhus Kommune.
    The Experience Economy MA students of 2017 have mapped out over 150 commoning initiatives in the city in the effort to show the strong presence of diverse economies in the city at both grassroots level and at an institutional level. The mappings counter essentialist views of economy, drawing inspiration from the work of J.K. Gibson-Graham. They also provide a perspective that goes beyond the usual ”technological” euphoria to what sharing economies are and can be.
