In this introductory comic from Future Natures, we explore the multiple crises produced by values that create artificial divisions between humans and the rest of nature. Through empires and colonisation to their existing forms in modern capitalism, nature has been commodified, privatised and enclosed. But alternatives are all around us. Commoning offers a radically different way of valuing resources and other ‘social goods’, in agroecology, urban commons, creativity and technology, and more. Commoning not only helps to address people’s immediate needs, here and now. By making us think about what we value and how we value it, commoning can open up many possible and imagined futures.
