Abstract

This editorial highlights fifteen results of the photo-voice initiative “Impac- TO comunitario” (Community Impact). Through this medium, occupational therapists from Colombia shared the impact of their professional exercise in the community as part of the celebration of World Occupational Therapy Day 2023, which had the theme: “Unity through the community.” It reflects on the historical context in which the initiative was developed, given the escala- tion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, generating discussions on the concept of community for the occupational therapists’ collective. What community means amid war is questioned, and the idea of the professional community is explored from the kinships, affinities, and shared doings. The need to re- cognize coexistence and pluralism in the profession is highlighted, stressing the interdependence between individuals and social contexts. Finally, the readers are invited to reflect on the possibility of creating a professional community from pluralism.
