‘Dirty Care’ is a transdisciplinary format by international FLINTA* artists that addresses the spectrum of protection. The term ‘Dirty Care’, as coined by Elsa Dorlin, describes a form of care arising from personal experiences of oppression and the consequent need for self-defence. In order to feel safe in society, FLINTA* often has to take up this form of care-work. ‘Dirty care’, therefore, means being nice and caring out of fear of being threatened or hurt. The artists will work with local collaborators to develop a format that deconstructs and reconstructs, (re)appropriates, and rethinks concepts of protection, transforming Lothringer 13 Halle into a space for intervention through sculpture, installation, and performance.
