“Who cares for the caregivers?” is the question we will focus on in our third course from The Hologram. The Hologram is an idea, a practice, an experiment designed by a group of artists and activists, and a growing community. We work with optimism for what is possible through radical planning and hardcore cooperation, and antagonistic towards the systems that make it so hard to live right now.

In a series of six online sessions we will practice and discuss the social skills, values, and priorities that are central to the Hologram model. Each person will leave the course empowered to assemble and participate in their own Hologram. In this project, the person who articulates their needs and asks for support is our teacher.

The course will take place on six consecutive Tuesdays, starting February 2 and finishing on March 9th.

Cassie Thornton

Cassie Thornton is an artist and activist from the US, currently living in Canada. She refers to herself as a feminist economist, a title that frames her work as that of a social scientist actively preparing for the economics of a future society that produces health and life without the tools that reproduce oppression— like money, police or prisons. She is currently the co-director of the Re-Imagining Value Action Lab in Thunder Bay, an art and social centre at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada.

Lita Wallis

Lita Wallis is a youth worker and informal educator based in Gwynedd, Wales. Whether in her work or her personal life, Lita has spent much of her time experimenting with different shapes of supportive relationships (eg. cooperatives, triangles, tripods, flows & webs,) that challenge the ways society teaches us to relate. She joined the Hologram team in March 2020, when she helped to build the first course. Since then her role has been to share the Hologram model, and work out how to make it as useful to as many people as possible.

(Sir) Lyra Hill

(Sir) Lyra Hill is an interdisciplinary artist, educator and organizer from California. They operate as a synthesist and Master of Ceremonies, drawing on disparate and expanding bodies of knowledge to understand, illuminate, and reconfigure oppressive power dynamics whenever and wherever possible. They love people and strive to cultivate a candid faith in humanity, which is why they are so excited by the generative infrastructure of the Hologram. Don't let their silliness fool you into thinking they are not also serious.

Nat Boon

Nat Boon is a youth worker and a trainee counsellor from London. He joined the hologram team very recently as a trainee facilitator after having a great time on the course in the autumn of 2020. He is interested in how hierarchies define care and wishes we all lived in an Ursula le Guin story

Tyler Rai

Tyler Rai is an artist and producer whose work is invested in creating forms of care between human and ecological bodies. She helps artists, projects, and organizations with her Capricornian energy in admin, operation, and dream support. This is the second Hologram course she is assisting with Cassie and The Hologram Team. In her spare time, she researches geological deep time and contemplates writing a sci-fi opera about ice.
