HOUSING

Right or Commodity. What is To Be Done?

Under the title »Housing - right or commodity. What is to be done?«, the series of four workshops problematizes the transformation of the political economy of housing for the past two decades. Processes as privatization, gentrification and financialization have led to the commodification of housing, contributing to capital accumulation in parallel with the dispossession of numerous people. We intend to discuss these processes drawing on critical urban theory as well as on a concrete case study in Cluj. The ideological and political stakes of the workshop are to articulate arguments and to identify strategies aimed at de-commodifying housing.

The workshop series is organized within the project »Strengthening the Housing Justice Coalition in Romania through reframing the political claims for public housing« of Desire Foundation (Cluj) in partnership with tranzit.ro/Cluj.

Location: tranzit.ro/Cluj | Date and time: 16^th of March 2017, 6 p.m.

The project is coordinated by Simona Ciotlaus and Noemi Magyari and supported by the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung SEE.

BLOK - Local Base for Cultural Refreshment
ART AND CULTURAL WORKERS CONGRESS
The proverbial prestige of artists and cultural workers skilfully conceals the nature of work in this field, dominated by unrecognized and unpaid work. Where, until recently, there were stable jobs, atypical forms of work prevail today, and with them a growing reserve army of cheap labor. A neoliberal invention, 'project culture' - quite contrary to the discourse in which it proclaims 'democratization' and 'decentralization' - has profoundly transformed the role of art and culture in society.
