INITIATIVE FOR PRACTICES AND VISIONS OF RADICAL CARE


English version

I
L’Initiative for Practices and Visions of Radical Care, fondée en 2020 dans la région parisienne, est un groupe diversifié de praticien·nes des arts, de l’artisanat, des philosophies, des soins et de la thérapie, dont les membres sont issu·es d’horizons géographiques divers. Ni collectif classique, ni structure rigide, l’Initiative recherche et réinvente des modes d’institutionnalisme durables. Fondée sur des amitiés et des liens professionnels, elle fonctionne comme un écosystème et encourage l’interdépendance et la solidarité au-delà de l’identité. L’accent mis sur le care est mis en œuvre sous la forme d’un flux d’activités qui nourrissent des individus et soutiennent des liens sociaux, environnementaux et politiques, en se concentrant autant sur les processus et les méthodes que sur les résultats. Par le biais d’initiatives artistiques et curatoriales fluides, l’Initiative explore les langages, les énergies, les histoires, les paysages, les corps et les matériaux qui reflètent une relation non-extractive et sensible à l’humain et au non-humain

In solidarity with Ukraine

March 9, 2022

Because, as artist Nikita Kadan has already said, "visibility can save lives”, we invited Ukrainian artists, curators and filmmakers to make their voices heard and to testify to their situation, their experience and their concerns.

This encounter also responded to the call launched by several art groups and professionals who are mobilising in solidarity with Ukraine, particularly the artistic scene, notably the collectives Beyond the Post-Soviet, Initiative for Practices and Visions of Radical Care, and La Maison de l'Ours.

Rather than a debate in the traditional sense of the term, an evening in the form of a platform, a listening session, or an assembly to demonstrate solidarity.
