Lockdown residency  

"WHAT DOES SELF CARE MEAN TO YOU?"

We asked the artists and cultural workers of the Oyoun Curators * Lab this question - and thus brought the Lockdown Residency to life. Resilience, self-assertion, resistance are nothing new for people from marginalized groups such as black people, queer, non-binary, trans * people. Self Care - self-care - which is done on purpose and on your own initiative - neither. Positive relationships that cheer and empower are a cornerstone of this resilience.

Whether artistic, cultural, psychosocial or socioeconomic - with the question we offered a platform, detached from framework and form (at) s to act. We made a sum X available to the participants, with which they can simply pursue the question of what self-care means. ”20 works of art were created - authentic, self-reflective, intimate, artistically developed contributions from the curators' home atelier. A Podcast series offers a look behind the scenes of some of the plants.
