Traces of Care
An initiative that aims to propose alternative systems of care.
Emilia Schlosser, Isaac Robertson and Maja Laskowska
Performance & Exhibition
TOTALLY THAMES FESTIVAL
Created by an international trio, Emilia Schlosser, Isaac Robertson and Maja Laskowska, the project draws on bodies of water found in nature (geographically or biologically) to open a conversation that challenges existing notions of care. Is care a part of the everyday narrative? How do we heal if care isn’t on the lexicon? As part of the event, the audience will enjoy an immersive exhibition including projection, video, photography, and a reading room, as well as a live performance at the riverfront.
Water is everything; it moves within and without our bodies. Water is specific and local, it is the sea, the lake and the puddle. Water is diverse and eternally circulating, it is the blood and the chemical compound. Water’s identity is beyond that of a service provider to facilitate human activities. How can we shift our engagement with water from our anthropocene outlook and swim towards a more ethical conversation, water to water? Body to Body.
Traces of Care is an exhibition and live performance. It is an exploration and a conversation, a look into a moister future. Listening to the social networks of water and its bodies, hearing our uncontained human bodies within this network; how do we care? Where do we care? Why do we care? How are we cared for by the current waters and landscapes? Can you hear the water in your body gurgling?
Choreographies of Care is an international collective of interdisciplinary artists. Blurring their different practices of sound design, creative writing, visual arts, performance arts and body work, the collective is invested in research driven explorations of situated contexts of care that expand beyond the human.
Their first site specific performance ‘Choreographies of Care’ was shown at Totally Thames festival in 2023. Traces of Care is their second project.
