Book presentation: Radicalizing Care. Feminist and Queer Activism in Curating

Care has emerged as one of the most pressing concerns at our global present. Feminist activism and theory have made major contributions to understanding economic, political, and ecological conflict tied to social reproduction and ethics of care. The 25 contributions to the volume Radicalizing Care. Feminist and Queer Activism in Curating , provide critical insights and healing practices that take seriously that the Latin root of the modern word curating means care.
