group show WHO CARES opens Nov. 6, 2020 at Feldfünf, Berlin, Lindenstrasse 90 curated by I-collective/Valeria Schwarz
>>> The Who Cares? Feminist Art Festival turned into a showcase edition
The works by the participating artists will be on display from November 6th to November 15th, presented as a window installation at feldfünf e.V. We invite strollers to a mindful art walk with social distancing and masks in the open air. Also, we have redesigned all planned workshops to now take place virtually.
Who Cares? creates a framework for thinking about Care as an essential condition for maintaining human and non-human life. In the course of our lives, all of us encounter Care in one way or another. We are reliant on it as newborns, when we are sick or at the end of our lives. Most of us care, feel care, and are cared for. To recognize that no single person can survive without other people´s Care is also to acknowledge our own vulnerability and interdependency.
Care is present in each action that has to be performed in order to maintain and repair our world, so that we can live in it as well as possible. It means caring not only for our own bodies and minds but also for our environment. Whether we are aware of it or not, all human and non-human beings are intertwined in an existence-sustaining web that needs Caring for life to continue. But Care is seldom reciprocal because each giving is not followed by equal taking. Therefore, it challenges the usual understanding of justice. WEBSITE
