Architectures of Care
Drawing from a diverse range of interdisciplinary voices, this book explores how spaces of care shape our affective, material, and social forms, from the most intimate scale of the body to our planetary commons. Typical definitions of care center around the maintenance of a livable life, encompassing everything from shelter and welfare to health and safety. Architecture plays a fundamental role in these definitions, inscribed in institutional archetypes such as the home, the hospital, the school, and the nursery. However, these spaces often structure modes of care that prescribe gender roles, bodily norms, and labor practices. How can architecture instead engage with an expanded definition o...
Caring Infrastructures
Care has become a trend in the art field, but much of the recent curatorial focus seems to be limited to symbolic gestures through exhibitions and public programming. These efforts, however, have led to few (infra)structural changes. The need remains for bringing about fair working conditions, gender equity, and support structures for caregivers and care-receivers. In response, Sascia Bailer redefines »curatorial care« as an infrastructural practice grounded in feminist care ethics that provides »care for presence« for diverse audiences. Drawing from socially engaged curatorial and artistic practices, she offers hands-on propositions for constructing caring infrastructures and provides a micro-political roadmap for curating with care.
Practices of Urban Inclusion
In recent years, migration policies have led to the erosion of fundamental rights for migrating persons in urban areas, with pathways to safe havens, both geographically and legally, gradually diminishing. This book explores the role of urban space and urban practice in creating conditions of exclusion and inclusion in European cities, especially in Berlin, Brussels, Milan and London. Building on collaborative partnerships between civil society organisations and universities, it shares some of the lessons learned and concerns raised by an experimental learning programme situated at the intersection of architecture, urbanism and migration. The volume presents a collection of texts in multiple languages, interviews, visual essays and situated examples from citizen-led solidarity initiatives, pedagogical experiences and spatial practitioners. Taken together, this assemblage of materials seeks to revise urban practice and acknowledges the fundamental role of migration for critically understanding what cities are today and re-thinking what they could become in the future.
