Day 16: Collective Entities & Ancestry

In our exploration of the Feminist Economy on week 1, we discussed how it emphasizes alternative economic evaluations, focusing on care work, intersectional considerations, and well-being. In week 2 we talked about the role of algorithms and digital systems in the work of secondhand economies. In week 3 we exercised our imagination via fictions and futures. 
Now, we will combine these ideas to imagine economic practices that are collective, cooperative, and environmentally conscious while questioning/queering the roles of technology. We will further build on a speculative project to  envision a more just and intersectional care economy within the secondhand sector.

• How do these experiences shape your relationship to money, land, and the items you own or sell?
  
• How  will this play out in your collective entity fiction?
