The 5th\u00a0With For About\u00a0conference that took place online between \u00a027 May and 17 June tried to respond to the additional challenges that Covid-19 creates for many marginalised people and communities, asking:\u00a0What creative solutions have marginalised people developed to survive before Covid-19?\u00a0What creative ways of being and organising are being made now in response to Covid-19?\u00a0How do we embed and share\u00a0 these solutions, ways of being and organising now and into the future?\u00a0The event’s guest curators – artist and mental health activist \u2018the vacuum cleaner\u2019<\/a>\u00a0and curator and agitator Cecilia Wee<\/a> willfully ask in facing this crisis, another ten years of austerity, ecological collapse, harsher borders, more racism and deeper ableism within deeply divided societies \u2013 how can artists, activists and organisations make vital\u00a0change within our communities and beyond?<\/p>\n

Themes were mixed together to allow a truly intersectional understanding of care work, class, colonialism, disability, ecology, feminism, mental health, migration, lgbtq+, racism, surveillance \u00a0\u2013 all under the framework of Justice and Rights based approaches.<\/p>\n
