Curatorial interference trigger warning 100%!  

A few days ago, participants in the 'Young Curators Residency’ met artist Cassie Thornton who demonstrated her viral, peer-to-peer feminist health network ‘The Hologram’ (2017-). ‘The Hologram’ is open to being repurposed and the young curators have been invited to modify the project to their own purposes. This Sunday from 15.30 – 16.30 CEST you are invited to join the process as the group meet with Cassie once more to share their Hologram-hacking ideas.

About ‘The Hologram’

The Hologram’ is a social practice that everyone can do to take and give better care of themselves and others. The premise is simple: three people - a 'triangle' - meet on a regular basis, digitally or in person, to focus on the physical, mental, and social health of a fourth - the 'hologram'. The hologram, in turn, teaches their caregivers how to give and also receive care; each member of their triangle becomes a hologram for another, different triangle, and so the system expands.
