A Manifesto for Radical Care

Written by Pari co-director Tian Zhang and originally published online in the Sydney Review of Books.

When I think about care, I think about safety, I think about freedom and I think about love. I think about relationships – about family, lovers, friends and peers. When I think about care, I think about my elders. The ones whose blood, sweat and tears allowed me to feel relatively safe and free. When I think about care, I think about interconnection – holding space and being held, being grounded in community and in Country.”
