Serpentine Arts Technologies and RadicalxChange are pleased to announce the recipients of their £3000 grants to further explore the role of art and culture in reconfiguring ‘ownership’.

We were thrilled to receive 71 project submissions from a diverse range of researchers and practitioners. Over the coming months we’ll work together with each team to ****develop their idea, get it published and present it at an upcoming Beyond Cultures of Ownership gathering.

<aside> ✣ Beyond Cultures of Ownership is an ever-evolving project and global community of artists, researchers, activists, technologists and policy-makers exploring the role of arts and culture in reconfiguring ownership. Get involved via our Telegram group and newsletter.
