What does care look like when it evolves out of a consciously critical
lens, and through a cultural practice? To find out, Marc Garrrett,
co-director of Furtherfield (UK), chairs a panel with cultural
producers: Cassie Thornton, Elsa James, and Tomislav Medak, to discuss
care as an act of resistance: against despair, uncertainty, and social
fracturing.

This conference is taking place at a time of mass social upheaval
around the world. What knowledges and strategies do we need to
acknowledge, and build on, in order to navigate through a world
fractured by racism: class division, the covid-19 virus, imposed
Austerity, international debt, as global communications
infrastructures illegally and systematically hack and overwhelm
democracy, Fake news generating tiny groups of clandestine media
strategists working in alliance with dodgy politicians, corrupt
financiers, and right-wing media giants? On top of this, we are also
dealing with the mass extinction of wildlife and destruction of
life-supporting ecosystems.
