Tools for Togetherness: Community Builders Talk by PATINAPATINA

What does it take to build lasting, meaningful community in a time of disconnection? In this candid and generative session, a panel of artists, educators, organizers, and cultural workers come together to share the tools, rituals, and mindsets that have helped them foster connection and belonging in their communities.

Tools for Togetherness invites participants into a dialogue on care, collaboration, and creative strategy. From neighborhood initiatives to digital gatherings, we’ll unpack the small acts and big ideas that make collective spaces possible. Expect practical insights, hard truths, and inspiring stories from the field—as well as time to reflect on your own role as a community builder.

Whether you're just beginning or deep in the work, this talk offers a toolkit for those committed to creating spaces where people can come together, stay together, and grow together.
