EUROPE: How can video art articulate invisible forms of care and responsibility during a global crisis? What does it mean to give visual and narrative form to the role of “Next of Kin” during a pandemic?

I’m Terrified of Infecting Someone Else was developed as part of The Kintsugi Project which began in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic when a group of women came together to discuss, investigate and share experiences of being ‘Next of Kin’, and Woven Network Nordics, a European project highlighting women’s voices in urban spaces across Sweden, Denmark, and Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic. Created within a nine-month online residency, the video reflects on vulnerability, responsibility, and care, foregrounding women’s central yet often undervalued roles in both public and domestic spheres during the crisis.

The interviewee participated in The Kintsugi Project (2021).
