On March 27th we will hold a gathering at the Interference Archive for a brainstorming session about the new project — Care Units, or Units of Care, which is meant to be less of a drawing project and more of a large-scale visual public art initiative.
We imagine printing a huge map — possibly 10 meters wide — to cover a public space like Zuccotti Park. Along with it, we would print stickers, some blank and some pre-designed, allowing participants to map out what they see as care. This information would then be transferred to a digital map, with multiple layers of data visualization.
Joining us will be friends from NYC and online, participants of the previous Visual Assemblies held at Interference Archive and MayDay Space, as well as members of other involved collectives. We are happy to invite into the discussion to activists, curators, and artists who would like to join us, whether in person or online.
If you haven’t taken part in the previous assemblies, but wish to join and develop the project, get in touch with us by sending an email to info@a4kids.org with subject line Brainstorming Session March 27th / join offline.
We will share the notes and ideas from this session here in Museum of Care and across our social media. You can read the notes from the previous assemblies here: MayDay Space (February 4th), OBA/Amsterdam (February 20th).
