I am always amazed at how commoning reaches into the most unlikely realms of life. The latest example that I’ve discovered is jazz performance!

Nidhi Singh and Gunjan Chawla (The piece was first published in the Leaflet) As polling day approaches, political advertisements have become omnipresent–offline and online.

This history was written by Ugo Mattei in 2014 as a chapter in a book, Global Activism: Art and Conflict in the 21st Century, edited by Peter Weibel (and published by ZKM/Center for Art Media Karlsruhe, in Germany, and MIT Press in the US).
