Spaces of Care: A Collective Toolkit for Time, Memory, and Sharing

Project Description
Spaces of Care is a participatory, multi-format project that invites care providers, nurturers, and supporters to collectively reimagine and document the meanings and rituals of care through storytelling workshops, interactive zine-making, and communal exhibition. Spaces of Care centers intergenerational, gendered perspectives and the often invisible care workforce to transform personal reflections into a shared archive of collective resilience and well-being.

Aashima, Ana, Sabrina, Helen, and Ethan are Parsons SDM and DT practitioners across India, Ecuador, and the U.S., integrating programming, interaction design, print media, and photography to redefine caregiving through intergenerational perspectives, transforming personal reflections into a shared archive of collective resilience and well-being.
