Shared Endeavour

35 Food Growing

Similar to 11 Nature Space, but focused on the production of food rather than visual benefits to the neighbourhood. It's part of a rich web of patterns that also connects 13 Resource Bank, 10 Circular Economy, 7 Trade, 5 Food Cycle Festival and 25 Feast. Depending on the project, this pattern may emphasise food justice, ecological priorities (e.g. permaculture) or foodie benefits. Because food production is tied to land usage, it can also offer a home to other activities that need space (e.g.1 Fire Place).

36 Procession

Emphasis on visibility, accompaniment and claiming space. May have an element of 'misrule' / anarchic celebration / pushing back against normative power structures, in which case it relates to 37 Protest.

​Pride
Lewes bonfire
Critical Mass
Brighton Breeze Volkswagen run

37 Protest

Gathering to pursue a shared struggle. Strength in numbers is based on principle of visible engagement. May involve occupying space, challenging structures of authority & power, or stark use of shared symbolism.

Occupy Wall Street
Stop The War
Covid Montag Street Walks
Women in Black vigil

38 Symposium

Gathering around affinity of interest in a particular topic, and the act of sharing of knowledge and ideas. Membership is somewhat bright-lined based on the assumption that attendees must have a certain level of knowledge or accreditation to take part, or subscribe to certain schools of thought
