On October 8 and 10, Fem Infància has held in Es Mercadal (Menorca) a workshop that has become a reflective space to think about care and social bonds from a critical and feminist perspective, from the idea of “precarious life” by Judith Butler.
The workshop opened on October 8 with a talk around the ideas of interdependence, relational autonomy, the common and the social bond, to approach human fragility and vulnerability, and the cures as a political proposal. On the second day of the workshop, October 10, a community space was generated to share experiences, thoughts and dreams about cures and bonds, building collective knowledge from artistic and dialogic methodologies, with the aim of generating alliances and proposals to generate social bonds in a more conscious and critical way.
All in all, the idea was to reflect on how our lives are constituted in the current context, from intersectionality and feminisms. We have to recognize the precariousness, as well as the systems of oppressions and privileges that shape our individual and collective experiences, from a cures perspective that takes into account the global interrelationships and from a critical review of the consequences in the late capitalist stage: individualization, global chains of cures, exploitation of people and the planet, climate change, xenophobia, precariousness, anthropocentrism and androcentrism.
Fem Infància is a micro-cooperative that seeks to respond to the (increasingly imperative) need to include a feminist perspective in education, incorporating feminist pedagogies and contributing to their professional and personal growth.
