Caring is generally described as invisible, low-paid labor hidden away in a private sphere. However, the pandemic protests around the world, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has sparked interest in moving concerns from private, serving categories to political ones. As Judith Butler points out, our political activism can only be carried out with the support of our fragile, vulnerable bodies. In such a concept, fragility and vulnerability become not a bug, a weakness that needs to be overcome, but a starting point for our solidarity and collectivity.

The discussion is aimed at comprehending artistic and curatorial practices that are associated with building care infrastructures, criticizing patriarchal political structures for the sake of a more inclusive, diverse, horizontal structure of society.
