What is Common Ground?

Common Ground is a global meet up celebrating the Commons on Flickr to be held by many of the institutions in the Commons. The meetup will be in the form of a projection onto the participating institutions building at night (or suitable day-time location) using a slideshow of content from the Commons on Flickr accounts curated by you, our community.

When will it happen?

This will be hosted on the weekend of 2nd – 3rd October across the globe (albeit with time-differences), making the Flickr Commons go live through a connected slideshow.

Where can I go to see the slideshow?

You will be able to see it at the Australian War Memorial on the 3rd October 2009, stay tuned for details.

The Powerhouse Museum and the State Library of New South Wales are joining forces in Sydney, and the State Library of Queensland is also taking part. 

In the Northern Hemisphere, the meet-up is on at George Eastman House, State Library and Archives of Florida, the Oregon State University Archives ,  Brooklyn Museum and the New York Public Library, and the Swedish National Heritage Board

If you can't make it to one of the events, then the images should be available on the Indicommons Blog in the week beginning 4 October 2009.
