Who Cares? Sessions
In the Who Cares? program, artists participating in the exhibition To Mind Is To Care talk with authors who have contributed to the eponymous book, the exhibition’s curator, and others.
Through in-depth conversations about the works and performative contributions by the artists, Who Cares?* reflects on the various forms of taking care that are investigated in the exhibition. What do they have in common, and how do they differ?
The discussions were moderated by Florian Weigl, the exhibition’s curator. All events took place online.
