On Community: A Modern Manifesto
What does it feel like to find community for the first time? How do we build community across cultures and geographies? Why does community matter to us, now? -- from On Community - A Modern Manifesto.
The zeitgeist of community is upon us. For much of human history, we’ve derived our sense of belonging and identity from our families and neighbourhoods. The modern era has enabled community to exist beyond traditional geographic boundaries. We are distributed, decentralized, and defiant of traditional systems of gathering.
But as any community builder can attest, this work is hard. Editor Karen Mok sets out to ask the hard questions about building community through the lens of Sandbox (hyperlink), a global community of creatives, entrepreneurs, journalists, academics, politicians, and influencers across 40 hubs and 100 countries. Through the perspective of 20 contributors representing 30 countries, On Community presents a modern day treatise on the philosophy, design, and human experience of community.
On Community raises critical questions and inspires an ongoing discourse on what it takes to build strong and vibrant communities. It is an essential read for community builders across the globe and a rich learning experience for those who may not have experienced the power of community in the modern era.
20% of profits from On Community will be donated to youth creative arts & leadership programs to inspire the next generation of community leaders.
