Listen to Ana Cecilia Dinerstein on the Art of Organising Hope, and the ontology of becoming, so important for social movements.
We have been convinced by power that there is no alternative. Indeed, referring the post-Covid amnesia governments in the global North seem to be having, Rowan Williams writes that we are constantly being fed a narrative in which growth is something that needs no explanation or justification.
Yet reality contains the possibility of “not yet”.
“The principle of hope is therefore also dynamic, a force of nature, something that pushes us to belong”
“We have reached a point of mediocrity”. We call it a crisis of democracy, but Ana would call it a crisis of everything.
Yet there are hundreds of alternatives defending life called the “global tapestry of alternatives”. We are weaving rather than networking.
