Rebuilding Society

This date is a tentative placeholder. Hopefully the Omicron wave has passed by then. Watch this space.

In this era where we need to re-imagine society after/with Covid, and with Climate Change it may be inspiring to look at Berlin when The Wall fell.

A dance-subculture filled the void and reshaped the city. As someone who isn't particularly fond of that music (but well versed in the culture) I nevertheless found this documentary fascinating and enlightening. It isn't really a story about music or dancing as such, this is the story of a remarkable social-political-economic phenomenon which rarely gets told.

Please listen to the first 28 minutes...

The rest of the hour covers Detroit which you may or may not be inspired to follow through on.
