"Ecologies of Care was initiated by Elke Krasny and Urška Jurman in 2021. Ecologies of Care is a group of architects, artists, curators, spatial practitioners, and researchers. Taking the meanings of curare – to care and to cure – which form the etymological root of the word "curating", members of the group practice the long-term engagement with sites and infrastructures under multiple pressures. The focus is on resistance to economies of extraction and on reparative practices concerned with social and environmental precarity. Ecologies of Care approach interdependencies in care as ethico-political and corpo-material relations. Acknowledging that care is always implicated in the given, defined by the aftermath of patriarchal oppression and colonial violence as well as by present-day compulsory neoliberalism and capital accumulation, ecologies of care work on conflicts related to care and towards the freedom and joy to care. Bringing together feminist spatial practices of maintenance and repair, multispecies ethics, social reproduction theory, public pedagogies, critical heritage studies, feminist infrastructural critique, and hydrofeminist engagements as well as the rights of humans and of nature, ecologies of care aspire to new public imaginaries of care."
