Time to think and build community

There was a time when the community stood its ground, rose up, and stitched together the ideological interlining so that all the diverse patches could remain in solidarity, covering us and offering shelter to everyone, to all. Without community, there would never have been the possibility of thought or action in history. No culture. No education. We read it in Arendt. We read it in Freire. We read it in hooks. We read it in the shrapnel marks at Pointe du Hoc. Our algorithmic and postdigital era translates into a necessary time to think about community, to think in plural ways about contemporary concerns. To continue thinking between the lines, in order to stitch them together ideologically. Issue no. 14 of Communiars. Journal of Image, Arts, and Critical and Social Education develops a discourse around the arts and their educational possibilities from the standpoint of diversity and contemporary community. The different authors contributing to this issue put forward significant ideas for educational-artistic practice in relation to media and visual literacy, artificial intelligence, and possible discursive components present in painting and installation art.. This issue brings together contributions by Silvia Capelo-Álvarez (Universidade da Coruña, Spain); Paula Sánchez González (University of Seville, Spain); Víctor Murillo-Ligorred (University of Zaragoza, Spain) and Nora Ramos Vallecillo (University of Zaragoza, Spain); Dionisio Sánchez (Higher School of Art and Design of Valencia, Spain) and Carla Moreno (Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain); and Enrique Mena García (Catholic University of San Antonio of Murcia, Spain). From the editorial coordination of our journal, we thank all those who have contributed their commitment and work to this publication. Omnia sunt communia.
