The Broken Pitcher Forum: reaffecting place hosts a small gathering of interlocutors and participants, bringing in conversation practices that engage with labour, publishing, and collectivity under conditions of displacement and precarity. WORKNOT! centers ‘home’ as a site of labour, where migration, evictability, and insecurity shape everyday life. Spookstad approaches radical publishing as a form of organizing, asking how books can resist commodification and become immanent to social movements, allowing protest to speak rather than merely be represented. The Lumbung Land working group questions forms of collectivity in unstable, temporary circumstances, and how to tend to commoning within precarious contexts. Together, they reflect on how translocal and self-organised communities navigate life and place-making beyond institutional capture.
