Care and creativity

Re-Reading David Graeber's 'The Democracy Project' about Occupy Wall Street (OWS), which in such turbulent times now seems a lifetime ago, two quotes stood out for the Campaign Choirs Writing Collective project, the book 'Singing For Our Lives' which will be published next year by wonderfully supportive publisher HammerOn Press:

'OWS, in contrast (to the Global Justice Movement mobilisations 1999 - 2001), is not a party, it's a community. And it's less about fun, or not so much primarily about fun, as it is about caring' (p.240).
 
‘On the streets, creativity is our greatest tactical advantage. This is why clowns and spiral dance rituals and women in tutus armed with feather dusters were so effective during the Global Justice Movement’ (p.255).
