No pattern grows from a single strand. Only the diverse – hands, movements, voices – weaves us together. Some surfaces hold us as if floating, others create ruptures, tear open, divide, impose, dominate. The open group (un)equal patterns has, over the past months, brought together different positions to reflect on experiences of classism and to strengthen organisms of solidarity. Taking their own fields of work in art and culture, social work, and academia as a starting point, the group has sought to understand how classism shapes both life and labor.
The conversation is open to all. Please register for the Workshop.
In response to fundamental exclusions, rapid cuts, culture wars, and material precarity, we want to document, reflect on, and archive experiences together as a starting point for long-term organizing. We want to reach out our hands, learn from one another, and develop strategies to confront the madness of our times with a powerful web of hands and voices.
In what spaces is class-conscious work possible—work that takes silences and what has been suppressed into account, that finds common ground, builds solidarities, and overcomes financial droughts? What is needed for us to shape our forms of living together in ways that do not create debt, do not produce sleepless nights, and ensure that resources truly reach the people who need them?
