Care is expressed in many ways - how have different subaltern communities created systems of care and mutual aid? In these margins we find forms of cultural production that provide powerful and provocative lessons for architecture and critical spatial practitioners, one of the most enduring being found in various club cultures across the world. In creating safe spaces of joy, hospitality and community, with specific rituals and styles around fashion, music and dance, club culture have long been underground spaces to protect and shelter non-normative bodyminds that are discriminated against in dominant society.

If we are to create true systems and architectures of care, we have to design for and with difference, learning from those that have embodied knowledge of how to create those spaces.
