Provisional Infrastructures: artistic mobility as practice and experiment in commoning

Provisional Infrastructures: artistic mobility as practice and experiment in commoning unfolds as the artistic research of Marianna Stefanitsi and Centre of New Media and Feminist Public Practices.

The work is built around through 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 moves through walking practices, grocery runs, and rituals of miscommunication, probing the tension between visibility and invisibility in artistic labor and the hierarchies of validation. Togetherness is practiced as a method, rehearsing kinship and refusal as political and artistic acts that emerge in the gaps and cracks 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 calls and shape visibility, the work positions itself within these systems, not as an outsider critique, but as artists entangled in these networks, tracing the possibilities of shared infrastructures and testing how solidarity can be enacted, rehearsed, and sustained.
