Third Place Zine - ISSUE 02: MOVEMENT BUILDING

Third Place Zine - ISSUE 02: MOVEMENT BUILDING

Our second issue chronicles resistance and resilience as they take shape in unexpected places: organizing meetings, pickup basketball games, and tea parties. These everyday gatherings become spaces where collective strength is built.

WHAT IS A THIRD PLACE?

We define third places as the communal settings distinct from home (the first place) and work (the second place). The concept of the Third Place was originated by the urban sociologist, Ray Oldenburg.

While we honor his definition, we acknowledge its limitations. Our publication aims to re-interpret the third place in order to celebrate the joys of the built environment and how people build community today and in the future.
