The right to care: Entering outside in the southern European crisis of welfare

In these notes, we share the questions and challenges around care and health that emerged in the research project Entrar Afuera (Entering Outside, 2016-2018), a multi-site and multi-format dialogue around critical practices of healing and caring in three sites in southern Europe, Trieste (Italy), Madrid (Spain) and Thessaloniki (Greece). As we will see, we focus this text in Trieste and the dialogue with Madrid* . Driving us in this project was our common aspiration to reflect about the urban practices of care during and after the crisis that began in September of 2008. However, there was also a common ethic of emancipation in the institutional critique – the examination of how institutions were caring for people in that critical moment and toward a horizon of change – the imagination of how people could use and fashion institutions in order to care for each other.
