Take Care
We are pleased to announce the first issue of the serial broadsheet publication, The Blackwood, which is designed to circulate research and support creative inquiry in advance of an exhibition program. Issue 1 anticipates the Take Care program with contributions from artists, activists, writers, curators, and researchers critically engaging the crisis of care, including texts from Emma Dowling, Lauren Fournier, Kassandra Hangdaan, Park McArthur and Constantina Zavitsanos, Radiodress, Lynx Sainte-Marie, and Sarah Sharma; interviews with Albert Banerjee and Steven Eastwood, Care Watch, and Ai-jen Poo; and projects from CareForce (Marisa Morán Jahn), Labrador Land Protectors, Carolyn Lazard, Anchi Lin, Onaman Collective, Chloé Roubert and Gemma Savio, and Tania Willard.

The Blackwood, Issue 1 is available as a FREE download.
