2. Community Governance
ROOM AS POLICY MAKING
“Rooms are where we frame our existence. The colors we surround ourselves with, the ways we furnish our lives, and the people and things from outside that we bring in - all of this makes a room. It is where we assert control and where we succumb to innate vulnerabilities, and not everyone has the same one.
There are rooms that go for millions of dollars, there are rooms whose walls are made from tent fabric, but within all of us is the tendency to make a space ours, a site that begs familiarity and invites others to it.
The oddities that lend personality to a room can be stripped away by capital-driven enterprise, and a place can look very different from generation to generation, but unless the minds of the people who inhabit a space are altered beyond repair, what we build and how we do it will always be a practice intrinsic to the human condition.”
