Ecology of Care debuted at Horst Arts and Music Festival 2022 in collaboration with Zoë Beery as Collective Care, working alongside Safe ‘n Sound from Belgium as well. Our large team roamed the grounds during all opening hours, and tended to guests in need of assistance; from providing a calm presence, referring extreme cases to first aid and prevented any potential escalations while helping everyone feel safe. We also had our own central zone in the festival where we welcomed folks in all states to be cared for, and this space was soundtracked by a trio of soothing mixes we commissioned from Russell E.L. Butler, Alex Rita and Lou Drago.
