This is the second part of a longer post on the power of communities (part one here) and the gist is that as the pandemic has made clear the failings of a world based on power, priviledge and inequality, we are seeing the world being remade through a resurgence of active, open and diverse communities. The bulk of the article is devoted to describing the attributes of these communities, which Sahana Chattopadhyay lists as a sense of belonging, a crucible for generative conversations, the power in the network, embracing the liminal space, and alignment with a purpose.
