"Why engage with care? Engaging with care means recognising that we each need another – that what we have in common is our interdependency and vulnerability. (Commonalities which are only more valuable in light of what we have seen, and continue to see, through this pandemic.) At the same time, engaging with care also means acknowledging that the conditions of care are definitely not the same for everyone. There is no equal access to care, even if caring and being cared are fundamental common states in all lives."- This is an excerpt from the essay from Angela Serino in the latest issue of Station to Staion #4 Gamechanger.
