The Rural Commons Festival in Trentino (Italy) is an itinerant, trans-valley festival with several events in June 2021.
It is dedicated to collective rural practices and explores practices that promote the construction of a more inclusive, self-regenerating community that cares for its territory - made up of people, other living beings, resources, spaces, goods and community service.
As part of the Festival, the scientific conference “Rural commons and heritage regeneration” addresses the effects of commoning practices on the built and natural heritage of rural settlements. In this line of argument, heritage is not meant as an extraordinary landscape, a listed building or a protected structure, but it also embeds ordinary architectures and common spatial resources that are part of the everyday life of the rural community. Through research findings, examples, and case studies we aim to shed a light on numerous collective practices, design approaches, and operative actions that are significantly transforming our territory, unveiling experiences of spatial transformation and dynamics of innovation in rural and mountain contexts that can suggest other ways to shape, manage, and enhance our habitats.
