Why Citizen?

“The subtext of this project is to prepare us, to practice the moves and the muscles and the coordinated sets of movements to create something new… this whole building might fall down, and we’re going to need some builders, and we’re going to need people who understand people, who understand power, who understand relationships, who understand commitment to the collective, to forge society which we will always have… We’re trying to create an alternative path to that authoritarian over-promise/under-deliver. To the idea of not just patching up an institution but maybe we have to wholesale build a new one. We’re not going to be able to do that if we don’t have practice building with each other.” See the full recording here.
