Creating a fair and vital social fabric inspired by mutual dependencies between living beings and all entities including fauna, flora, air, land and water, seems to be fundamental for our collective, future existence. This reader is meant as a critical toolbox with intersectional perspectives to examine and reveal meaningful and inspiring narratives that can guide us The publication considers the agency that artists, collectives and art institutions have generated from the 1970s to today to build the radical imaginaries of care and solidarity, needed to transform the conditions of our collective existence in the face of local and global crises. Presenting new and historical material, it tells stories of solidarity across geographies in relation to emergencies connected to ecocide, femicide, genocide, migration, neocolonialism, inter-religious conflicts, class divisions and heteronormativity, amongst others.
