By thinking of this paradox of care that today surrounds the art world, we wanted to get into this conversation about how to better institute a culture of care. Or rather, how to cur(at)e for a broken world. In @Collectiverewilding we think that to institute a culture of care requires that we address these multi-systemic crises with an awareness of the different ways in which we all are experiencing the state of exception, so as to insist on the urgent need to incorporate intersectional modes of solidarity. That is also why we believe that to demand environmental justice is also to demand racial, gender, and social justice across the board. The recent assassination of African Americans, indigenous social leaders, environmental activists among other targets of the Neoliberal State, is therefore not only evidence of the rise of white supremacy around the world but also of the increasing normalization of the state of exception. 

These acts of hate are, moreover, are part of the perpetuation of a system of violence that has been rendered hegemonic as the only legitimate way of being and existing in the world. A world rendered through the oppression, condemnation, and extinction of the human and other-than-human other. Given that the imminent persecution and killing of people of color around the world makes visible the deep-seated colonial and neoliberal logic, we must assume this state of exception as having to do with the larger extractivist rationale that orders and gives sense to a modern-colonial world logic. Thus this call to understand the spread of racial violence globally speaks to the way in which we are also globally subjected to the bio-and-necro-politics of the current world system. A notion that not only needs to be countered, resisted, and dramatically if not violently disarticulated, but that also necessitate frameworks and methodologies that can help yield new paradigms for re-existence; a new culture of care!
