Samenvatting
“I have long argued that we should not avoid life’s all-encompassing fragility but rather embrace it. Fragility, uncertainty, unpredictability, dependence, and porousness, however difficult they often can be, are sources of deep insights. Disruptive experiences bring us into borderlands. They make our vulnerability manifest but also reveal new perspectives and creativity.”
Disruptive experiences knock the ground out from under your feet. Who are you when nothing is as it was before? Who can you become, and who can help you get there?
In the era of climate change, refugee crises, growing inequality and war – an era in which prior certainties cease to be and new certainties are yet to be discovered – Christa Anbeek lays out the contours of communities with a heart. Precisely from our vulnerability, we can seek and discover new connections.
