On Love, Healing and Community Care
In a first time collaboration with Kaaitheater, Olave Talks to Kai Cheng Thom. Kai Cheng’s latest publication I Hope We Choose Love has nurtured and further fermented Olave’s search for the right questions to perceived and/or experienced complications of her praxis of community care, solidarity, accountability, hope and despair, love and healing, organising and mobilising. On this evening, Olave discusses with Kai-Cheng a selection of excerpts of her essay collection. Join them for a rich evening of explorative and robust thinking, vulnerable and fragile ideas, and generosity and care.
