The need to create what we call rooms — educational and cultural spaces of care — was discussed by David Graeber and Nika Dubrovsky during the pandemic. The Museum of Care appeared after David’s tragic death in 2020 as a tribute to his legacy. Everything here is free, and everyone is welcome.
Room is one of many spaces inside of our Museum. Curator is running the room: making events, collecting artefacts or their absence, meeting people and whatever else you want to do.
A room dedicated to the network of communities, organizations, spaces, collectives, individuals and ideas connected by Visual Assemblies - creative collaborations that aim to imagine new ways to run and organize our social systems.
The Museum of Care is your Museum: it was created by the people for the people. During the 2020 Covid pandemic, Nika Dubrovsky and David Graeber came up with the idea. After David’s death, Nika and friends created a website that hosted reading groups, assemblies, and art projects.

David Graeber asserted that human consciousness only exists in dialogue with others, and the myth of the individual “thinker-philosopher” is nothing but a myth.

Creating a map and network of care units across the globe through Visual Assemblies
In thousands of ways, we are taught to accept the world we live in as the only possible one, but thousands of other ways of organizing homes, cities, schools, societies, economies, cosmologies, have and could exist. The series of books Made Differently… is designed to play with possibility and to overcome the suspicion, instilled in…
