The Battlefield Nurse
presents "Critical Care"
"The Battlefield Nurse," a 5000-year-old hooker, healer and midwife for the dying who thinks this care thing is critical! However, care can be creepy, paternal and authoritarian, so she works to redefine care not only as a medical issue but also as a social and political strategy for bodies in crisis. She asks to what extent can interdependence help to combat isolation and inspire new ethical models of living, working and being together in this violent shit storm we call the present.
