Radicalism in the Age of Covid and Climate Disaster

Arts Politics Chair Pato Hebert will be presenting “Capillaries of Care: No Silver Linings” for Cinemas of Global Solidarity to share how he has been at the forefront of change.

Alongside Alexandra Juhasz, Hebert will present ideas raised in their Long Hauling series, with a keen interest in how activists and artists think from within a pandemic, including Hebert’s two-year photo project on his own longhauling with COVID. The pandemic is an occasion to reconsider broader notions of long hauling and learn from the challenges of long COVID, while cultivating reciprocity, holding uncertainty, and nuancing our efforts with lessons from other viruses and their related movements about mutual practices of aid and cohabitation to thrive over the long haul of sustained illness, neoliberal precarity, and other threats to human dignity and existence.

Hebert & Juhasz's presentation will be a part of the "Radicalism in the Age of Covid and Climate Disaster" section of the Cinemas of Global Solidarity Symposium. Check out the symposium's schedule here.
