The Quarantine Commune
Channel: Spencer Beswick
Date: 2022-09-13

"Social distancing paradoxically compelled every household and living group to orient towards the commune form. Today, a home must be a commune or it will fracture and die." 

In this short piece, originally written in the early days of Covid-19, Spencer Beswick shares his experience in his own quarantine commune and explores the social possibilities that the commune form enables.
