Reflecting on constructive wording for openvillage…
This draws on our email conversation @Woodbinehealth . By being a festival Fellow and curator, your take on working and living well together will shape the narrative of the event. I’d like to raise the question of which (essentially ideological) language is most constructive for what we want to showcase. This is relevant in so far as the formal event theme is concerned, not this call which is your personal voice.
I am aware that there is a sort of “in group” deeper understanding of the phrasing “Living communism, spreading anarchy” - think I found the original work here.
But by making a statement about anarchy do we risk alienating some community members? personally I prefer “collective health autonomy” as it points more clearly to community care. I would argue that it’s great to convey the idea of being revolutionary about care, but with a connective layer, the sense of ecosystem and infrastructure. I dont think revolutionary = political in the sense of the ideological spectrum though.
Anyone care to help us find a formalised narrative? Do you have feedback/ advice?
