Rosine 2.0: Futures + Histories of Collective Care

Rosine 2.0: Futures + Histories of Collective Care is a companion volume to Rosine 2.0, a project that brought together socially engaged art, harm reduction, mutual aid, and archival practices. The publication includes essays and interviews; historical and contemporary ephemera; a portrait series; and documentation to share community-engaged processes. The publication’s construction responds materially to the project—serving as both book and archival container—to preserve the ephemera and community-made publications that emerged during Rosine 2.0. These materials were created and distributed through the community networks that the Collective engaged.

Published in 2023 by Swarthmore College Libraries and The Eugene M. Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility, in conjunction with Rosine 2.0’s culminating exhibition and public programs, March 1 – April 16, 2023. Edited by Carol Stakenas with Jordan Landes and Katie L. Price. All proceeds will go to Project SAFE and Precious Jewels LLC.

A special feature of this publication is the front pocket, which functions as a container to preserve the ephemera and community-made publications emerging as part of Rosine Association 2.0. These materials were created and distributed through the community networks that the Rosine 2.0 Collective engaged.
