The Sun Ra Arkestra conjures a loose communality, the feeling of mavericks gathering for a shared purpose.

The mythos of “the first” obscures so much of the communality of Hansberry’s thinking.

One was figuring out how to balance Islam’s call for people to pray shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot — to emphasize communality — with the need to socially distance.

Here is less of the exhilaration of cruising, of anonymity, of imagined utopias, and more of the headache that is real communality, the honorable, bankrupting work of loyalty and endurance, of shoring up old lovers, even that roommate who is a “flaming piece of human garbage.”

That is "perhaps because it depicts the very thing we are currently unable to share: the painting resonates with movement and communality, and embodies the deeply social nature of humans," she said.
