What Is Narrative and Solidarity Infrastructure

Summary

BLIS Collective, a US cross-movement hub, opens a six-part series on the premise that “before you build law, you build myth”. Durable change, they argue, needs narrative infrastructure, “a web that allows for ideas to take root in culture”, built together with solidarity infrastructure: trust practised like a sport, “until specific movements become instinct”.

Rationale

Practising trust until it becomes instinct is growing a disposition on purpose, which we argue for too. We’d call culture an ecology to tend, though, where they call it “the battlefield”.
