Produced by curator, writer and researcher Jelena Sofronijevic, each episode invites artists, curators, architects and academics to consider what we really mean when we use terms like “sustainable” or “decolonised.” In this episode, Jelena speaks with artist Jasmina Cibic about the idea of “care thinking” and what it means to be both care-ful and care-less in the practice, performance and preservation of art and cultural artefacts. Their conversation ranges from Cibic’s current exhibition The Gift Ecology at Void Art Centre in Derry, to her representation of Slovenia at the 55th Venice Biennale, exploring how care shapes her work and what we might learn from it.
