For Silvia Federici, current resistance to the destructive forces of turbo-capitalism is part of an ongoing revolt against the enclosure of communal land and social relations. In Europe, land privatisation began in the late 15th century, coinciding with colonial expansion. In her groundbreaking work Caliban and the Witch<\/em>, Federici examines the history of women during the transition from feudalism to capitalism.

Athina Rachel Tsangari has also addressed the commons thematically in her films (Harvest<\/strong>\u00a02024) and in her filmmaking practice, has consistently worked in collectives.<\/p>\n
