CARE is the intersectional space – of gender and racial identity, the migrant and displaced body. How can I make you care? About the femme body, the trans, the body pushed to the margin - trimmed and discarded, by your hands. CARE explores the possibilities of what the verb and noun carry and extrude. It investigates how the migrant, queer, poc, and femme body is handled – how the moments of innocents are broken by social and political conditions - particularly in the U.S. I want to care for you even when I’m sharing hardship and the shared traumas – we have to hold and endure the weight together.
