    Abstract

    Pirate Care (https://pirate.care), is an international research and creative project fostering a network of activists, scholars and practitioners who stand against the criminalization of solidarity and for a common care infrastructure.

    The first iteration of the project was commissioned by the cultural centre Drugo More's as part of the flagship programme Dopolavoro for the Rijeka European Capital of Culture 2020 scheme.

    Hosted by the cultural centre Drugo More, within the program Dopolavoro, Pirate Care includes the following activities/outputs:

    Starting September 2019: Pirate Care Reading Group

    A summer camp comprising a variety of workshops and activities facilitated by practitioners, activists and researchers. We will activate the syllabus, read, play, relax, share and reflect together. The camp will be accompanied by a public program of events open to all and by an exhibition documenting our research and pedagogical explorations of pirate care.
