archive of care
Explore our 'archive of care' composed of self-directed documentation of how the we care for each other and ourselves.
We are interested in observing the innate choreography/scores of care.
Natural patterns, shapes, melodies, pas de deux, textures, lines, colors, or tones of care.
How do we choose to present care? Where do we place our recording devices? How close we are allowed?
What does stretching the body sound like, and does it harmonize with your cooking sounds?
Capitalism has stripped or at least muddied our relationship with care.
Through this archive we hope to uncover, remember, and honor our practices of care.
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis until September 2020.
Submissions will be shown in this archive and streamed sporadically through Window Room TV.
