PIRATE CARE SYLLABUS

Pirate Care | International | digital files | 2019—ongoing The Pirate Care Syllabus is a collective document that outlines the tenets of good care practices with attention to geographies, genders, ethnicities, ideologies and other factors. It is a radical pamphlet that presupposes the notion that care is inherently politicized and precarious in the neoliberal sphere. The syllabus is available in open access on the Pirate Care website, and it is also available for download so that it can be taken into the field without an internet connection and used to build awareness and solidarity among social actors. As an expanding work in progress, it is meant to be rewritten, remixed, and adapted in the service of various pedagogies. All artworks and materials courtesy Pirate Care.

Pirate Care

Pirate Care is a transnational project connecting activists, scholars, and practitioners working on the collective practices of care that are emerging in response to the current "crisis of care." These initiatives are experimenting with forms of self-organization, alternative approaches to social reproduction, and the commoning of tools. Their project specifically aims to activate collective learning processes from the situated knowledge of these practices.
