In an increasingly divided world where racist, sexist, and offensive language have returned to the public sphere in the posts and speeches of public figures, politicians, and anyone with a social media account that can easily gain popularity precisely by using inflammatory language, a key question is how communities whose bodies and identities are often targeted have and continue to: (1) oppose discrimination; (2) propose alternatives to build more equitable worlds; (3) call us to develop empathy; (4) share their struggles to coexist in worlds that oppress them for who they are; and (5) counter the divisiveness we experience online and offline these days. This selection of works invites reflection on a hostile world in a productive way. As a racialized woman who immigrated to Montreal twenty years ago, I have personally found comfort from strangers and friends alike, especially during tough times. People have shown me solidarity when I least expected it, so thinking about this, I ventured into finding work by artists based in Germany to explore how they care for each other and build communities.
