Stretch
is a growing archive exploring the labour of care to teaching work.
To stretch is to go above and beyond. To stretch is to exercise our joints and release tensions in our bodies after we have been in the same position for a long time. To stretch is to go as far as or past the usual limit of something.
Stretch is an invitation to contemplate our everyday bandwidth by defamiliarising and extending the everyday rubber band to host a space for connection. The ordinary rubber band is symbolic of the possibilities, boundaries, and limits tested in everyday life. During the pandemic, teachers are amongst essential caregivers in our society, highlighting the urgency for care for oneself and one another. This project invites us to consider collectively: How much bandwidth do we have - and how much can we stretch? At what point do we feel the tension? How do we pause and go from here?
Participants are invited to contribute to the open call.
