#16 spaces of care

film program 2025/26

Who does care work, and who profits (most) from it?
How can we distribute care in a more just way, fighting gendered, classist and racist structures?
How to spot “care washing” and build actual spaces of care?
What happens if people that usually do care work stop to do so?
How to balance caring for oneself, those around, and the world?
How can care be a transformative collective practice, and where is it oppressive?
What are the consequences of a careless world?
What role does care play in solidarity movements for marginalized people and people living in conflict zones?


In our upcoming season with monthly events from September 25 until June 26 we will explore different perspectives on caring spaces and highlight their transformative potential. We want to speak about diverse forms of care: Reproductive care-work in hospitals, elderly homes or social-work-contexts; care-work at our homes, in collectives, projects; caring for injustices and catastrophes; for people we don’t know and those who are closest to us. Inspired by the Care Manifesto (LINK) we ask: In a neoliberalist world in which economy stands over the wellbeing of 99.9% of all beings on this planet - how do we grow more caring spaces, in which we can meet, thrive and strengthen solidary ways of coexistence and collaboration - ways which center care and justice.
We want to explore spaces of care as a link between the intimate, familiar, and private sphere and the public and political one. Only through caring interactions between humans, animals and plants can a fertile ground for political change emerge. Social relationships are essential for creating relational accountability - the responsibility for one another, the tenderness and lead to increased resources and agency.
