Announcing the launch of two books at Kiosk Rotterdam on Friday, May 17th, 2024, 19.00. Plus: dedicated workshop on Sunday 19th, at Kiosk.

Join us for an evening of collective reading, an open conversation on care infrastructures, and publishing as community building.

Kiosk Rotterdam is proud to host the launch of ‘Promiscuous Infrastructures: Practicing Care’ and ‘Utterances: Composing a Care-Informed Research Practice in the Cracks’.

How do we care for each other in our living, learning and working lives? Published by Journal for Aesthetics & Protest, the manual ‘Promiscuous Infrastructures: Practicing Care’ calls for an ethics of care and attentiveness to one another, re-imagines the making and the use of infrastructures, and situates care within a genealogy of artistic and social practice.

Co-published with Humdrum Press and Meteoro Editions, ‘Utterances: Composing a Care-Informed. Research Practice in the Cracks’ is a “humble offering towards an alternative artistic research practice that is guided by an ethics of care.”

Both publications are research outcomes of the Promiscuous Care Study Group. The Promiscuous Care Study Group have been researching and writing about caring infrastructures and promiscuous care for several years. The group gathers under the aegis of study, using their individual and collective care practices as sites of inquiry. Find out more here.

Kiosk will also host the workshop ‘Practicing Promiscuous Care’ connected to both publications on Sunday, May 19th, 14.00-17.00. SPOTS ARE LIMITED! RSVP to Michelle Teran: c.m.teran@hr.nl
