Pixelache in collaboration with Station of Commons will organise a series of dinners inviting diverse cultural and artistic collectives at Villa Eläintarha.

Build a larger table is a project which aims to gather in a relaxed environment, with food and drinks to hold conversations and share recipes on social sustainability and experiences on working together.

These talks will be broadcasted and shared to the public domain through the Station of Commons website. An edited podcast will be accessible later on Pixelache website and Soundcloud.

The title Build a larger table comes from an apocryphal quote by Jennifer Bloomer that says
“when you have more than you need build a larger table not a taller fence”. The concept resonated with the intentions of this project, where we wanted to share a moment of togetherness and joy around food, in order to have conversations with collectives that have been shaping the cultural context in Helsinki for a long time.

Join us on this series and get a glimpse on dynamics and strategies for surviving as collectives!
Station of Commons: Initiated in 2020, Station of Commons (SoC) investigates the possibilities of reappropriating technology within public space. SoC stands for radical alternative strategies to the neoliberal system in terms of digital and independent means of production, communication and distribution. It operates as a research platform producing a thinking space around digital commoning. Station of Commons has collaborated with manifesta13, documenta fifteen, Miss Read art book fair and Afrikadaa among others.

SoC is a collaborative initiative by Grégoire Rousseau (Helsinki), Juan Gomez (Geneva), Minerva Juolahti, Alain Ryckelynck, Eddie Choo Wen Yi and Mathilde Palenius.
