“Dissecting the Meaning of Community” responds to the events of 2020 that have redefined our social world. The two bodies of work will occupy different spaces but the works reflect similar questions. Community can be defined by place, identity, affinity, affiliation and is more complex than surveys can portray. The way people talk about community is different with the age of social media, the internet and a global pandemic. Fearnside’s and Spruce’s work questions concepts of community, the impact of events on community, and invite viewers to consider how they conceive of community.
