Visualizing Care
Imaginaries & Infrastructures
Transnational Conference
May 12, 13, 14, 2022
The labor of caring — for human and non-human worlds — is often invisible, underpaid, unrecognized. Care becomes visible mostly when it is not done or when it fails. The importance of naming essential workers as such emerged when they could not perform their jobs amid the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The seriousness of climate change becomes visible only as a consequence of the intensifying ecological crisis. This conference gathers activists, artists, scholars, and visual recorders to ask: what does it mean to visualize care? While the emphasis on imaginaries aims to underline the utopian dimension of redesigning care, the importance of infrastructures sheds light on concrete practices and assemblages that are built through these alternative designs.
