Curator's Picks: Care//Archives

How does care leave a trace?
Not just in grand gestures, but in the smallest repetitions — in tending, in witnessing, in staying.

For this edition of Curator’s Picks, we invite artists to explore care as an archive:
a quiet accumulation of gestures, ruptures, reparations, and refusals that shape how we relate: to others, to ourselves, to more-than-human worlds. We’re looking for works that explore:

✧ Care as political resistance, kinship, or labor
 ✧ The affective weight of caregiving and receiving
 ✧ The tension between institutional care and community care
 ✧ Invisible labors: nursing, parenting, elder care, emotional work
 ✧ The slow processes of healing and maintenance
 ✧ The tenderness in objects, rituals, or daily repetitions
 ✧ What gets archived through care — and what doesn’t
