The need to create an educational and cultural space 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.
The Museum of Care has many rooms, to make, join, or old rooms to enjoy.
This room is a room for conversation. It overlaps with and complements the “Collective Decision Making” room, which explores the mechanisms of how people agree or disagree and how we can reach consent (and can we?).
Is your job killing you? Do you feel the crush of spiritual violence when at work? Are you a duct-taper, box-ticker, taskmaster, flunky, or goon? We’ve got the place for you. Join us. Bullshit Jobs: A Reading Group, where your humanity will be restored.
As a follow-up to our reading group on Graeber’s “Debt” we will read Hudson’s “The Collapse of Antiquity” as of September 2023.
The room is dedicated to the discussion of the concept of debt as present in David Graeber’s “Debt: The First 5,000 Years,” as well as in other texts.
This project opens up way to promote and discuss Bullshit Jobs, using satirical and playful means to take Bullshit Jobs to a wider audience as the theory becomes more and more relevant.
Choose Yourself. Change who you are. Make yourself someone else.
This group emerged from the events, discussions, dialogues that took place around a series of essays written by David Graeber and Nika Dubrovsky.

The private space in which public values are shaped.
We are organising, under the patronage of Museum of Care and the David Graeber Institute, a series of public lectures on the philosophical foundations of the work of David Graeber, whose death in September 2020 was an enormous shock and left a void in anthropology and far beyond the discipline.
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. David himself was often subjected to public attacks and withstood them with fortitude. Our fights will be between real people, imaginary people, or real people played by actors.
