Provisional Infrastructures: Artistic Mobility as Practice and Experiment in Commoning emerges from the collective practice of the Centre of New Media and Feminist Public Practices, with the artistic research process unfolding through Marianna Stefanitsi’s practice. The work is structured around two complementary methodologies.
Commoning as Infrastructure experiments with speculative instituting, co-learning sessions, and shared meals, creating moments of encounter that extend mobility beyond elite or exclusive circuits. These gatherings become micro-infrastructures of solidarity: small but potent interventions that disrupt institutional rhythms, expectations, and logics of productivity.
In parallel, Kinship and Togetherness engages walking practices, grocery runs, and rituals of miscommunication, probing the tension between visibility and invisibility in artistic labour, as well as the hierarchies through which artistic value is validated. Togetherness is approached as a method: a rehearsal of kinship and refusal as political and artistic acts emerging within the gaps and fractures of official mobility programs.
Throughout, the project remains attentive to the paradigms that frame mobility today. From EU cultural policies to digital platforms that circulate open calls and shape visibility, the work situates itself within these systems—not as an external critique, but as a practice entangled within these networks. In doing so, it traces possibilities for shared infrastructures while testing how solidarity can be enacted, rehearsed, and sustained.
