The Museum of Care: Open-Source Survival Kit Collection

The Survival Kit Collection, launched by the David Graeber Institute, brings together collectives to develop “social technologies” for survival—spirulina farms, self‑replicating 3D printers, modular housing, and low‑cost water and solar solutions. By starting a conversation about open source technologies, the project aims to re-imagine technology on the basis of care to address today’s ecological and social crises. In 2019, together with David Graeber, we held the first workshop about the Museum of Care at CCC to reimagine the relation between freedom, technology and value. Over these 6 years, the Museum of Care has grown into a gathering place alive with ideas and resources curated by people from around the world. In our talk, we want to report on the work we have done at the museum.
