micro-care:

small acts of resilience for living within the earth’s carrying capacity

This collaborative project began from a place of searching for optimism and agency in the shadow of massive and systemic forces. We documented and discussed modest actions of resilience and care for ourselves, each other and the systems surrounding us, and our weekly discussions themselves became a typology of care through the tumultuous spring of 2020. This publication holds our divergent but intersecting reflections on care, beginning from the smallest seed of ourselves.
