Spheres of care
WAUHAUS x Aliisa Talja:
Spheres of Care is a performative event, a nurturing oasis and reservoir of rest, where we focus on care amidst emotional, social, and ecological crises. The three-day event gathers together researchers, artists, activists, and other interested parties. The event offers a multitude of perspectives to care and nurture; we look at care in relation to self, society, and soil. We gather around a wide range of information through lectures, practices, and performances.

In order to take care of others I must take care of myself. How does that happen? The day will offer perspectives and practices on self-care. How can we increase our awareness so that our relations to ourself and others are strong and caring? How can we make space to encounter thoughts, emotions, and needs? How can we act accordingly? How can we balance our own attention between the inner and outer world? The day’s program offers concepts and models for action
