Author, activist and commons expert David Bollier will discuss commons and commoning at the Walkover Gallery in Bristol on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 6:30 p.m. His presentation will draw from his latest book, "Free, Fair and Alive: The Insurgent Power of the Commons," co-authored with Silke Helfrich.

From community land trusts and volunteer monitoring of water quality in local rivers to indigenous governance systems and open-source design and manufacturing, commons and commoning are about creating durable social systems for sharing and caring for our common wealth.

David Bollier is the Director of the Reinventing the Commons Program at the Schumacher Center for a New Economics, co-founder of the Commons Strategies Group, and the author of many books on the commons and commoning, including "Think Like a Commoner" and "Silent Theft: The Private Plunder of our Common Wealth." Hosted by Vermont Family Forests. Reception and refreshments will follow David's talk. Suggested donation $10 adults/$5 children.
