“And all of the sudden I was taking my friend to
the hospital. My friend smiled at me, put her fist in the air and
entered through the glass door. My friend is a very strong person. My
friend is a fighter. My friend is Beate and this is dedicated to
her.”
In the frame of a circle of friendship, nineteen femininities come together to
address the notion of receiving and providing care in order to survive in
environments that challenge their very existence. Going beyond the fixed notion
of the family and the recent commodification of wellness via life coaching and
individualist self-care app trends, they focus on affectivity, solidarity,
relationality and interdependence over charity, self-indulgence,
self-preservation and resilience. They push back against disadvantages by
bringing forward vulnerability and codependence, as ways to go through the
world with one another, in a spirit of radical kinship and hope.
