Working within cultural institutions create s a core tension: how can you stay independent while trying to change the very systems you’re part of? In But Not Of: Practices of Commoning in Art and Infrastructure explores that tension by mapping out how “commons” can exist both outside and inside the structures of cultural production.

< p>With contributions from Andrea J. Nightingale, Andrea Thal, Bianca Schic k, Binna Choi, Chris Lee, Clara Balaguer, Dalia Maini, Josh Plough, Lorenz o Gerbi, Madhumita Nandi, Maren Bang, Nina Martin, Noam Youngrak Son, Nour a Alkhalili, Pete Fung, Peter Linebaugh, Simon Fairlie, Wojciech Matejko, and Yin Awien, this collection goes beyond the usual critiques of institut ions. It connects cultural commoning to wider histories of social struggle – from the privatization of common land in Britain to the destruction of Palestinian shared farming systems under colonial rule. The book looks at the spaces around institutions as both fragile commons and practical found ations for change.

Through essays, real-world examples, and fiction , these cultural organizers, writers, and artists from different fields an d places tackle this tension head-on. How do collectives survive budget cu ts and political crackdowns? How do Indigenous ways of knowing challenge i nstitutional ideas about sharing and care? Can circulation and debt be tur ned into tools for redistribution? And how can speculation and science fic tion help us practice autonomy even within systems that limit it?
Inste ad of just talking about autonomy, this collection pushes for real strateg ies. It gives cultural organizers a crucial framework for navigating confl icting values—especially now, when the same institutions can fund both dec olonial art and genocide.
