This workshop, 'Deep Readings: Freund:innenschaft I', is part of the 2025 program 'Through the Dark. Über Leben in autoritären Zeiten'. It explores themes of 'Caringresistance: Revolution und Befreiung der Freund:innenschaft' by examining contemporary global revolutions and the role of care and solidarity in building alternative forms of community and resistance.
The 'Deep Readings: Freund:innenschaft I' workshop is a component of the broader 2025 program "Through the Dark. Über Leben in autoritären Zeiten" at the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art. This session focuses on "Caringresistance: Revolution und Befreiung der Freund:innenschaft," drawing inspiration from global movements where care for a shared life is central to revolutionary action. The workshop, led by philosopher Olga Shparaga and involving Joel Souza Cabrera, aims to explore how friendship practices can foster mutual dependency, collaboration, and creativity. Participants will engage with texts such as "Miteinander politisch sein" and "Freund*innenschaft: Dreiklang einer politischen Praxis" to discuss the role of gender in contemporary revolts and to question the nature of "care." The session seeks to understand if "care" is merely a buzzword or a genuine force for building resilient and actionable practices, particularly in authoritarian contexts. It highlights friendship as a form of resistance against isolation and control, emphasizing trust, mutual support, and the courage for vulnerability as political tools for overcoming oppressive systems.
