Abstract

In this roundtable, four curators, theorists, art historians and practitioners revisit the premise and structure of the 'Life Support' exhibition project (2021), paying particular attention to the issues raised through the process of its delivery and enactment. Topics include working with alternative institutions, negotiating the impact of the pandemic (both practically and politically), access, extractive infrastructures and connecting with longer histories of struggle through the archive. These issues are analysed through a variety of lenses from the ethics of care and social reproduction perspectives to decolonial frameworks.
