Hey Alison, hey Ellen!

My friends with whom we published the zine "Beyond Self-Care" (
http://www.crimethinc.com/blog/2013/09/06/new-zine-about-self-care-self-as-other/)
are doing a speaking tour to support it. They would love to do an event in
Richmond if that would be possible--they would be through that direction
January 11 or 12. Can either of you help me book this, or tell me whom to
speak to?

Hope you're well--all my best and thanks so much!
yours
b


*Beyond Self-Care: The Subversive Potential of Care*

In activist circles and beyond, it has become commonplace to speak of
self-care, taking for granted that the meaning of this expression is
self-evident. But “self” and “care” are not static or monolithic; nor is
“health.” How has this discourse been colonized by capitalist values?
Contributors to the recent zine *Self as Other: Reflections on Self-Care* will
present on the political dimensions of care, illuminating how it can serve
oppressive or revolutionary purposes. Taking the self as an object of
political struggle, this discussion will ask how health and resistance are
linked, and what forms of care might be be able to subvert systems of power.
