The crisis of care, a consequence of the correlation between patriarchy and the sexual division of labor, was redefined in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with the collapse of public institutions, citizens have organized autonomous care and support networks for precarious workers, migrants in an irregular situation, families without resources, etc. In this context, the collective assembly Raising Care emerged in 2020. This assembly is made up of seven groups from southern and eastern Europe: Brigate Volontarie per l’Emergenza, Obiezione Respinta and the Institute of Radical Imagination (Italy); Skart (Serbia); Open School of Immigrants from Piraeus (Greece), Domestic Territory and the Association of Senior Citizens of Usera (Spain). All of them have worked, in virtual meetings, on the concept of assembly as a device for mutual care and support, and have approached care as a starting point for their political, activist, artistic position, etc. 

This has culminated in the publication of a fanzine used in the course of the workshop as a device for activating the knowledge gathered in the meetings: establishing and sustaining relationships from / to / for care, of other people and of oneself. 

The objective is to generate a fruitful conversation between all participants, questioned by questions on the politicisation of care, autonomous health and radical healing practices.

This workshop is carried out in collaboration and thanks to the support of the La Villana de Vallekas social center.

Team/Equipo: Elena Blesa Cábez, Sara Buraya Boned, Ana Campillos, Jesús Carrillo, Maddalena Fragnito, Pablo García Bachiller, Elena Lasala Palomar, Theo Prodromidis and Gabriella Riccio.
