In times of crisis, mutual aid becomes paramount. Even before the
COVID-19 pandemic, new forms of sharing had gained momentum to
redress precarity and stark economic inequality. Today, a diverse
array of mutualistic organizations seek to fundamentally
restructure housing, care, labor, food, and more. Yet design, art,
and architecture play a key role in shaping these initiatives,
fulfilling their promise of solidarity, and ensuring that these
values endure. In this book, artist Marisa Moran Jahn and architect
Rafi Segal converse about the transformative potential of mutualism
and design with leading thinkers and practitioners: Mercedes
Bidart, Arturo Escobar, Michael Hardt, Greg Lindsay, Jessica Gordon
Nembhard, Ai-jen Poo, and Trebor Scholz. Together, they consider
how design inspires, invigorates, and sustains contemporary forms
of mutualism-including platform cooperatives, digital-first
communities, emerging currencies, mutual aid, care networks,
social-change movements, and more. From these dialogues emerge
powerful visions of futures guided by communal self-determination
and collective well-being.
