Dispoc Visiting Scholarship 2022
Co-creation is everywhere and yet easy to miss. It’s how we built the internet. It forms the backbone of our social movements, our systems of knowledge, our scholarship and our worldviews. But in the current operating system, individuals take the credit for - and the profit from- these collective forms of authorship, erasing co-creation and whole worldviews from the narratives we use to make sense of our world. Co-creation is increasingly recognized in such areas as education, healthcare, technology and urban design. Although each of these and other fields have distinct approaches, fundamentally co-creation is an alternative to-and often a contestation of- a singular voice, authority, and ownership. This talk will chart the main findings of a field study on co-creation and media, forthcoming this November as a book entitled Collective Wisdom: Co-Creating Media for Equity and Justice (MIT Press). Co-creation, we argue, offers ways to repair, re-build trust, and to craft shared visions. It offers ways to draw on collective experience and tackle complexity. And it enables us to make media with people, rather than for or about them.
