Panel Discussion: Get Care Now

Join us for the panel discussion "GET CARE NOW" featuring Barrie Cline (SUNY Empire State University), (Public Art Fund), (School of Visual Arts), (Creative Time), (Open Source Gallery/KoKo). The conversation will be moderated by Ursula Maria Probst (FLUCC, Vienna).

The panel discussion "GET CARE NOW" focuses on artistic initiatives and communities, cross-disciplinary, innovative practices that address the needs and urgencies (number of people affected by poverty and hunger is increasing) of our society, children and young people in New York. In view of the rapid growth of cities and the post-Covid situation, “Youth Wellbeing in Cities” is an important topic that now increasingly needs to be addressed in the context of urban ecologies.

The question that arises in this context of whether and how artists, collectives or initiatives themselves can develop effective, sustainable projects (housing needs, places for young people and children to stay, self-sufficient energy, gardening, fermentation, food for all, movement de-escalation workshops, safe spaces for women and queer communities, circus of knowledge, playful approaches) together with communities as decision-makers will be explored using practical examples.

The transdisciplinary panel “GET CARE NOW” discusses best practice methods in the development of “Community of Practice”. Based on projects in New York on best practice methods and community outreach of projects of different groups and communities. The aim of the initiatives is to stand up against exclusion for a good coexistence. How can we develop a CARE Index based on a Care Agenda from this which is also including the question of ethical issues and what are the necessary tools?
