    Activity Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2021 - 18:00 UTC
    Duration: 120 min
    Brief Description:

    In 2020, we have experienced the impact of cuts to public services and we have seen communities and activists respond with mutual aid and self organising spaces of collective care, where communities conceive health and care in an expanded way: not only by providing access to medical services and equipment, but also by providing solidarity in the form of psychological support, defence against domestic violence, support in struggles for housing and income and sustaining environments for cultural production.
    The impact of Covid-19 is not only a crisis of healthcare and economy, it is a systemic crisis. This event is intended as a space for shared reflection on the ways activists have and will continue to self-organise.
    The format of the event will be in two major rounds of dialogue followed by a concluding assembly that will give consideration to - problems, challenges, strategies, perspectives, for recognising and making visible the commoning of care and health.
