In this session, we discuss the topic of ”Self care”.
In this session, we discuss the topic of ”Self Care” and how to sustain it in a society that values profitable work over rest. Furthermore, we will discuss how self-care could be viewed as a radical form of activism in relation to feminist and anti-racist work, struggle, and practice in our daily life.
Some questions that we will address:
- How can self-care be explored on an individual level?
- What does self-care mean to you? What forms does it take?
- What are barriers to actualizing your self-care?
- What are possibilities/enablers to actualizing your self-care?
- How can self-care be explored from a collective level?
- What can be considered collective self-care? What forms can it take?
- what are our needs regarding collective self-care?
- can self-care and collective care be in conflict with each other? how do we deal with this conflict?
- can self-care and collective care be in conflict with each other? how do we deal with this conflict?
Participation is open to all, and no prior knowledge or experience of the topic is required. As in all our sessions, you are free to join for all or part of the session and participate in ways that feel best for you in Zoom.
Zoom is an online program for telecommuting, which allows us to communicate with one another as a big group. It is also possible to chat via zoom, and not have your own camera or microphone activated. There is no compulsion to actively speak and participate, and silent observing is an equally welcome way of taking part in our collective learning process.
We do ask all our participants to follow Safer Space Guidelines that we will share at the beginning of the event. We will also have a dedicated person responsible for ensuring everyone enjoys a discrimination-free experience. All sessions are free and open to everyone without prior registration. FAR Night School sessions are independent, and attendance in other sessions is not required for participation.
Welcome, see you soon!

It is a contested Space and it represents a contact zone, a space of unlearning, formulating identity constructs, norm-critical consciousness and critical thinking. Impossible Forms are those that erase and facilitate the process of transgressing the boundaries/borders between art, politics, practice, theory, the artist and the spectator. For 2019-2020, Museum of Impossible Forms operates under the curatorial theme of ‘The Atlas of Lost Beliefs (For Insurgents, Citizens and Untitled Bodies)’.
Museum of Impossible Forms is a Safer Space. We follow a Safer Space policy to create a welcoming, inclusive, awesome environment.
