A filmic constellation exploring Felix Guattari’s anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist, anti-psychiatric, animist ideas of care and the self. And an Introduction to the Episode.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
