Give & Take Care, Jeff Kasper

Give and Take Care

Give & Take Care is an iterative social space for dreaming strategies of recovery from harmful relationships and cultures of normative love. The low-light sensory space offers time to practice safety and consent with others. Accompanying programs are designed with participants and guest organizers to offer context specific tools for exploring care, conflict, and accountability. Visitors are encouraged to bring a partner, friend, accomplice, or feel free to participate solo in the many lounges for play, napping, holistic nervous system health, and reading. Give & Take Care features a non-circulating library on contemplative arts, queer sexuality, and disability culture.

A Blade of Grass

Issue 2: Who?

"This issue looks at the power of relationships formed when artists become allies to and co-authors with people whose expertise comes from another source than art.

A Blade of Grass provides resources to artists who demonstrate artistic excellence and serve as innovative conduits for social change. They evaluate the quality of work in this evolving field by fostering an inclusive, practical discourse about the aesthetics, function, ethics and meaning of socially engaged art that resonates within and outside the contemporary art dialogue."
