about

By definition, ‘Caring’ to the point of becoming ‘Activism’ should entail that the process of ‘concern’ has reached a point of desperation, allowing it to be expressed in such ways which were previously inaccessible.

However, can activism be generated within care, and which (if any) care sectors can accommodate an activist approach? What can we achieve through the simplicity of caring for another, and where does sympathy become empathy and empathy become anxiety, and anxiety become anguish? When can activism be found within the British social care system, and to what length do methods associated with social care relate/differ from those aligned to self-care and the rise in prominence it’s seen as digital culture grows in dominance.

Does the documentation of care through creative means warrant a reimagining of its role? How different might society be if ‘Caring’ was as much a choice as breathing? Where do we place convenience in this discussion?

What are the farthest extents of care… and should you care about caring to care about caring…?

Bryn Williams and Frequency co-Director Barry Hale unpick the possibilities of ‘Activism’ within a spectrum of caring actions with kindness advocate and performance author Bernadette Russell, award-winning Social Artist Dan Thompson, internationally exhibited visual memorialist Lindsay Seers, photo-documentarian Matt Snellin, Care Researchers and members of the general public.
