Published for The Future Past, curated by Art + Space, May 7, 2016. 

The second publication in our Didactic broadsheet series.

Asylum can mean safety for those who need it or security for those who don’t. An institution can protect or oppress.

The past and the future have already happened. And the present doesn’t exist. 

We aren’t all in this together. Moreso: we aren’t in this alone. The continuum of wellness can only function within community. To be in community is to exist in that liminal space between (and beyond) the future and the past. It offers us asylum and provides institutional support. It allows our collective wellness to unsettle the status quo. It reconstructs sanity as a space where hope still matters and solidarity transcends mere agreement. Community is where the past and the future act together. Today. And tomorrow. (And yesterday.)
