Rituals of Care

A handmade glossary of our quotidian care rituals.
Caring SocietyWellbeing

This glossary captures the collective memories of care from the five of us at a specific time in our lives, as we navigate the new challenges of our MA in a new city, and sometimes a new country. Our months of research and recording the small acts of care we each performed regularly, subconsciously, culminated in a conscious categorization of these caring acts into five themes through reflective writing and storytelling. Each of us chose a theme and selected two words that tied our experiences together, defining them in an intuitive, creative, and above all, caring manner. The pages of this glossary are deeply infused with our sense of care, and we hope that the small rituals detailed within it, and the act of viewing it, can bring some of that care into your life.
