Dive into a transformative experience at WasteInCommons, an event hosted by APR at Catalyst Social Centre, in Melbourne. This isn't just an event; it's an idea, an invitation, a hope, a practice, an experiment – all designed to challenge our perceptions of 'waste.' Join us as we collectively explore the intricate and often overlooked entanglements that define waste in our city, particularly within wasted spaces.

Break free from the traditional out-of-sight-out-of-mind waste management mindset and the burden of individual responsibility of our current waste economy. WasteInCommons invites you to be part of a community, a shared practice that responds to waste challenges through 'commoning,' transforming waste into an affective material and regenerative force.

Discover how waste, often a symbol of our economic and social system's shortcomings, can be repositioned as a catalyst for conversation, collective action, and positive alternatives. As we explore the wasted spaces within our city, we aim to stimulate dialogue about system failures and envision healthier alternatives.

Come together to reimagine waste not just as a common burden but as a shared resource held 'in commons.' How can collective management and stewardship, a practice of 'commoning,' redefine our relationship with waste? Join us for an evening of exploration, shared commitment, and renewed relationships within the city's overlooked spaces. Together, let's create a future where waste becomes a tool for positive change.

Venue: the event will be hosted at Radicle Roots Naarm Community Garden, at De Chene Reserve in Coburg. You can find the garden in front of De Chene Reserve Playground.
