<h2 style="margin-right:-19.15pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:Helvetica;color:red">The initiatives on 3 and 4 December</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Helvetica">Two days of talks, performances and workshops
unfurl a raft of financial interventions like visualizations of shadow
economies, a guidebook on how to extort money from banks, Robin Hood-style
financial hacks, peer-to-peer insurance companies, financial leak platforms,
and blockchain initiatives for the commons. A series of hands on workshops will
take place throughout the two days to get you familiar with the latest
financial alternatives and exchange systems that are defining the economies of
dissent. Ascribe will introduce how artists can use the blockchain to regain
ownership and copyright over their digital art and CommonEasy will show how
de-centralized insurance policies can unify communities for the common good.
Artists such as Paolo Cirio will describe how his work dismantles the
corruption of offshore tax havens and Silvio Lurusso will talk on the
deterministic conditions of crowd funding platforms. Over the two days Moneylab
will host over 10 sessions to investigate, uncover and create alternative
models of exchange and economic empowerment. </span></p>
