FANZINE

We understand this zine as a living resource. Its pages are not intended to provide final answers, but to open further conversations about sustainability, solidarity, responsibility, and belonging.

OlNLINE PUBLICATION

There is no single model of collective care. Every group has its own histories, relationships, limits, and resources. The purpose of the zine is to support a process of discovery rather than offer a universal solution.

Self-Care and Collective Care for Community Resilience | Zine of Artistic Care Practices

This Zine is created in the framework of the international project Self-care and Collective Care for Community Resilience, and can be seen as an outcome document of it. The project, co-funded by Erasmus+ and spanned over more than a year, has been carried out by two different but in many respects similar communities and working collectives — Genderhood (Greece) and FemLink (Austria). The main goal of the project was to explore and to implement ‘care’—as both a theoretical concept and a living practice, in relation to oneself and to others, highlighting the inherent quality of collectivity implied by this notion. Theory and practice constitute the two main parts of the project: the research and the laboratory. This two-part structure has also determined the composition of this zine. (https://epale.ec.europa.eu/en/resource-centre/content/self-care-and-collective-care-community-resilience-zine-artistic-care)

The digital zine is available to read online and download as a PDF.

SCoRe explores care as part of everyday collective life: in community projects, activist groups, cultural work, educational settings, and organisations working for social change.

The zine asks how we can create forms of participation that do not depend on exhaustion. It looks at the relationship between personal wellbeing and the conditions in which people work together. It also recognises that care is not equally available to everyone and that sustainable communities require shared responsibility, access to support, and attention to power.

This publication is not a self-care checklist. It is an invitation to notice what sustains us—and what needs to change.
