Practices of solidarity played a decisive role in the mass protests in Belarus in 2020. They allowed different individuals and groups to fight both for their own emancipation and for a shared socio-political one. This was not only about protecting and resisting the violence emanating from the political regime, but also demonstrating a social alternative based on communication channels and approaches to joint action that are based on care.
The central players of this protest movement have been women. Their social infrastructures at work, in the neighbourhood and in other communities enabled mutual support, information and resource sharing, and the inclusion of new participants in the protests. Since the suppression of the protests and the intensification of repression in Belarus, care has also become the driving force of the “fragile resistance” of political prisoners, who support each other both psychologically and legally in prisons and penal colonies. Similarly, practices of solidarity have proven to be an indispensable element for the resilience of Ukrainian society in the face of war.
As part of “Every Day”, philosopher Olga Shparaga will talk to artist and activist Marina Naprushkina, author Kateryna Mishchenko, and curator Antonina Stebur about feminist utopias, anti-authoritarian resilience, and practices of caring solidarity: how can they be used locally and transnationally in resistance to political oppression and war, while also strengthening the inclusive character of democratic processes?
