Exhibition Details

Centering human intimacy and interdependence, the exhibition urges us to ask: How do we care? Who cares? Who do we care for? What happens when there is a lack of care?

Traces of Care aims to make visible the invisible traces of care and support structures that surround us, whether those be our own bodies, the individuals who surround us, or our spaces and objects.

Additional Details

Antoni, Levy, and Wilke, each from a different generation, offer a range of diverse perspectives on memory, the body, vulnerability, illness, and labor that challenge and disrupt our expectations of resilience and distress and shine a light on our own fragility and the care structures that are vital in our society.

The exhibition thematically considers how materials represent the body while interrogating the different ways the body is disciplined.
