NOW AT ARBEITSZIMMER THEALIT

The Working Group on Endings formulates its questions with these words:

“How can we bring collectives to a thoughtful and caring endings? Through two workshops participants are invited to reflect together on stories of collective dissolutions, and to recognize endings as important moments of knowledge and mutual care practices.

In our experience, burnout –resulting from capitalist social and working structures– is one of the main reasons why people lack the time and energy to end collective work properly, often resulting instead in a sudden rupture, with people simply dropping out. This makes us want to explore the ambiguous relationship between failure and endings. ​​It also invites us to practice alternative ways of ending collective work that prioritize care and make space for grief. By making space for sharing and listening to stories of dissolution – by recapitulating the end – we acknowledge endings as carriers of knowledge for the future.”

The workshops will take place at Arbeitszimmer thealit and are open to anyone interested.Depending on needs, they can be held in English. We can assist each other with translation. Registration is appreciated, spontaneous participants are also very welcome!

The “Working Group on Endings” (Astor Roth, Charlotte Perka, Jakob Karpus, Ruxin Liu) s a temporary constellation that emerges from a shared reflection process on endings: The endings of projects they are invested in, how to continue (working) after, and the transformative potentiality of actively catalysing endings.
