✺ Manifest Of Care Kultur ✺

We are Care Culture - a growing space, a collective whisper, a search for what holds us together.
We believe that there can be a way of working, thinking and feeling that does not go against life, but breathes with it.

Our paths always lead us back to care - not as a task, but as an attitude.
Not as a method, but as a relationship.
One that leaves space.
One that listens, even in silence.

We approach this topic with the means we know: with art, with movement, with language, with time.
Sometimes we draw, sometimes we write, sometimes just with our eyes, sometimes with our hands.
And often we don't know exactly what will emerge.
But we trust that something will grow if we remain careful.

We work slowly. Not because we want less - but because we want something different.
Soft instead of efficient.
Quietly as well as bold.
Open for pauses, detours, for what only becomes visible in between.

Our meetings are gatherings without a stage.
Circles in which it is not the loudest that counts, but what touches. We call them play, research, sharing.

Care culture is not a ready-made form, but an invitation to find out together how care can become visible.
In zines, in podcasts, in small gestures. In words that don't have to explain.
In images that shout.
In words that can dance.

What we create should not impress, but connect.


We believe that change does not only come about through anger, but also through tenderness.
That art does not decorate, but opens up. That being political means protecting life - including our own.

Our website is a first home for what we are beginning. Unorganised perhaps, but alive.
There are traces, sketches, experiments - not as finished products, but as an invitation to think, feel and help shape.

We believe that we don't have to hurry.
We believe that the right people will find each other and that,
in a world like this, it is something radical to take your time, stay soft and be together.

Care is not an issue for us.
It is a direction.
A gesture.
A decision, always new, and we don't yet know where it will lead us, but we are on our way.
