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.

The exhibition Collective Forms of Care is an invitation engage in constructive reflection on a hostile world and to explore acts of solidarity and care practices as a means of building communities.
