The conditions described in the articles above lead us to think of alternative living situations. We have lost our communities, which were the salvation of those marginalized by capitalism. Therefore, we attempted to visualize communities that might provide the communal relations that had been lost. Because we believe “It Takes a Village,” we tried to visualize an environment that could provide safety, possibility, sustainability, and economic development.
