We are currently learning that collective spaces can be supportive, that they strengthen our motivation and can better support us in times of crisis than in isolation. But we often ask ourselves: how well do I function within a collective? Is there still enough space for my needs, for feelings of frustration or exhaustion? How do we maintain our balance, not only in practical life together, but also emotionally? How can we remain united?
In the workshop we will examine the suggestions of the decolonial concept of Repair and Care from the Global South for us in the Global North, and how these can have a healing effect.
