Visualizing Care presents "Fieldnotes to Survival"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has upended our lives in ways many of us could never have imagined. The "new-normal" of quarantine, mask-wearing, physical distancing, and being away from family and friends has left us feeling fatigued, isolated, and in despair. For people living with an invisible disability, however, the uncertain realities of surviving a pandemic are anything but unfamiliar. What can we learn from the people around us who have already been living a life of isolation? What does it mean to renegotiate one's relationship to productivity in a capitalist society? And what might care look like beyond the moment of crisis? "Fieldnotes to Survival" will look to artists who utilize their lived experiences with the precarious conditions of survival, mortality, illness, and disease under capitalism to consider how a shared language of care and vulnerability can be an answer to despair.

The "Fieldnotes to Survival" online exhibit features artists
Charmaine Bee, Zara Carpenter, Sylvia Griffin,
Kym McDaniel and Camila Moreiras. Please visit visualizingcare.com to view this exhibit and register for the panel. This event was guest curated by Felicity Palma.
