Learning From Disobedience

In the framework of Dopolavoro flagship of the Rijeka 2020 – European Capital of Culture project, the exhibition Pirate Care: Learning From Disobedience will open on Thursday, October 8 at 8 p.m. at Exportdrvo (Grobnička riva bb, Rijeka), presenting the international network of activists and researchers who oppose the criminalisation of solidarity and work to build common systems of care for people.

The authors of the project are researchers Valeria Graziano, Marcell Mars and Tomislav Medak, with the contribution of Laura Benítez Valero, Emina Bužinkić, Rasmus Fleischer, Maddalena Fragnito, Mary Maggic, Iva Marčetić, Paula Pin (Biotranslab/ Pechblenda), Power Makes Us Sick (PMS), Zoe Romano, Chris Gorodtzki & Morana Miljanović (Sea-Watch), Cassie Thornton, Ivory Tuesday, Ana Vilenica and Women on Waves.

We live in a world where captains get arrested for saving people’s lives on the sea; where a person downloading scientific articles faces 35 years in jail; where people risk charges for bringing contraceptives to those who otherwise couldn’t get them. Folks are getting in trouble for giving food to the poor, medicine to the sick, water to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless. And yet our heroines care and disobey. They are pirates.

The exhibition Pirate Care is an introduction to the increasingly present forms of activism at the intersection of “care” and “piracy”, which in new and interesting ways are trying to intervene in one of the most important challenges of our time, that is, the “crisis of care”. The exhibition primarily considers the assumption that we live in a time in which care, as a political and collective capacity of societies to attend to the most fundamental needs of humans and their environment, is becoming more difficult or criminalised. Crucially, the practices of pirate care share a willingness to openly disobey laws and legal regimes, whenever these stand in the way of solidarity, and politicise that disobedience to contest the status quo. That disobedience and that politicisation are what defines these practices as pirate care.

The exhibition builds on the Pirate Care Syllabus. The Syllabus is an expanding work-in-progress created with activists and artists engaged in pirate care with the aim of activating collective learning from their practices. The syllabus lives on an online publishing platform developed in house by Marcell Mars, Sandpoints, allowing collaborative writing, remixing and maintaining of a catalogue of learning resources. The first version of the Syllabus was created in November 2019 during a writing retreat organised by Drugo More (HR) within Rijeka 2020 and launched on March 8th for the opening of the exhibition “…of bread, wine, cars, security and peace” at Kunsthalle Wien (AT).

With the Covid-19 outbreak in Europe in March, Pirate Care was one of the few activities supported by Rijeka 2020 that didn’t come to a halt. The work on the Syllabus transformed into a collective note-taking effort to document a wave of organising of mutual aid, solidarity and care in response to the pandemic, titled “Flatten the Curve, Grow the Care”. An expanded Pirate Care network of contributors collected and created notes, instructions and how-tos coming from grassroots initiatives in Croatia, Italy, the UK and beyond. That timely work has found resonance in scholarly and public media, with interviews, references and features in venues such as Artforum, Wired, Art Monthly, The Care Manifesto, MoneyLab #8, Venice Climate Camp, Institute of Networks Cultures and many others.

Presenting a selection of topics and examples from the Pirate Care Syllabus, the exhibition is an invitation to learn from the disobedient practices: resisting criminalisation of migration and solidarity, helping women where abortion is not available, commoning care-work where childcare is scarce, countering housing and debt crisis, supporting psycho-social health in vulnerable communities, politicising feminist health through bio and technical hacking and politicising digital piracy.

The Pirate Care project was initiated at Coventry University’s Centre for Postdigital Cultures and developed with the support of Rijeka 2020 – European Capital of Culture and Kunsthalle Wien. Produced by Drugo More.

Behind the Mask online workshop: Pirate Care: Politicising Care, Piracy and Biopolitics

Part of the conference BEHIND THE MASK: Whistleblowing During the Pandemic (18-20 March 2021)

With: Valeria Graziano, Maddalena Fragnito, Ana Vilenica

In this workshop we are starting from the collective work on the Pirate Care Syllabus to present and delve deeper with participants into a variety of disobedient practices of care in light of their political and technological character. We will, specificially, focus on piracy, division of care labour, and civil biodisobedience.

Valeria Graziano - When care needs piracy In this short presentation and collective discussion that will follow, Valeria will focus on the case for disobedience in struggles against imperial property regimes. Reclaiming the idea of piracy when thinking of care foregrounds the need for radical collective action to challenge contemporary global systems of property and power.

Maddalena Fragnito - Care is a battleground Talk of care is currently everywhere. However, carelessness continues to reign. The paradoxes, ambiguities and hierarchies of care, as well as historical conflict between different care models, have become more explicit during the pandemic. On the one hand, capitalist care for profits of financial capital; on the other hand, necessary forms of refusal growing through the redistribution of care provisions and the commoning of care tasks among people. Can a conflictual collective care practice redesign democratic processes and public institutions?

Ana Vilenica will go into the care crises in housing and how the pandemic augmented issues we have been struggling with for decades. Her main focus will be on the politicisation of care in housing and tenants' struggles and the use of illegal/pirate gestures such as anti-eviction direct action, rent strike and militant aid. In connection to this, she will tackle the criminalisation of solidarity on a systemic level that has nested in legislation and getting tougher as an answer to growing housing and tenants movements.

Pirate Care network

Pirate Care is a transnational research project and a network of activists, practitioners and scholars who stand against the criminalization of solidarity & for a common care infrastructure. Convened in 2018 by Valeria Graziano, Marcell Mars and Tomislav Medak, the project wishes to map and connect collective practices that are emerging in response to the neoliberal "crisis of care" — a convergence of processes that include austerity, welfare cuts, rollback of reproductive rights and criminalisation of migration. In response to that denial of care, imposed by the states and the markets, practices we have called pirate care are organising to help migrants survive at sea and on land, provide pregnancy terminations where those are illegal, offer health support where institutions fail, self-organise childcare where public provision does not extend to everyone, liberate knowledge where access is denied. Crucially, they share a willingness to openly disobey laws and executive orders, and politicise that disobedience to contest the institutional status quo.

Our aim is to foster collective learning processes from the situated knowledges of these practices and together with the practitioners of pirate care we have been working on a collaboratively-written Pirate Care Syllabus and in the early period of the pandemic on a set of notes documenting organising of care titled "Flatten the Curve, Grow the Care".

Ana Vilenica: 'Nisam se udala jer bi to moglo sve promijeniti'

Imam osjećaj da bi nešto naopako krenulo kad bismo se vjenčali. Malo sam atipična žena, s jedne strane sam izuzetno tradicionalna, a s druge ne poštujem neka pravila, rekla je glumica Ana Vilenica (40), koja se još nije vjenčala za dugogodišnjeg dečka Edija. Dodala je kako je dosad prihvaćala većinu uloga, ali sad ipak gleda što joj odgovara, a što ne.

Pirate Care: Conference

The Centre for Postdigital Cultures, Coventry University, UK invites you to its second annual conference, which will explore the phenomenon of 'Pirate Care'. The term Pirate Care condenses two processes that are particularly visible at present. On the one hand, basic care provisions that were previously considered cornerstones of social life are now being pushed towards illegality, as a consequence of geopolitical reordering and the marketisation of social services. At the same time new, technologically-enabled care networks are emerging in opposition to this drive toward illegality.The conference will feature projects providing various forms of pirate care ranging from refugee assistence, healthcare, reproductive care, childcare, access to public transport, access to knowledge, a number of reflections from and on such practices, and a film programme.
