The text selection for Read in August was made by **Cristina Cochior**. Cristina is a researcher and designer who often collaborates in different constellations on digital infrastructures and tools for knowledge production & organisation. Her work revolves around the intimate bureaucracy of information organisation systems, affective interfaces and community networks with particular attention to their materiality and the politics that become embedded in them. She is a tutor in Hacking at the Willem de Kooning Academie and a Varia member.
Together we will be reading chat transcripts of conversations around solidarity, mutual aid and self-organised care practices, speculative fiction written by activists and texts describing how computational infrastructures create patterns for social forms (Berlant, 2016).

Together we will be reading chat transcripts of conversations around solidarity, mutual aid and self-organised care practices, speculative fiction written by activists and texts describing how computational infrastructures create patterns for social forms (Berlant, 2016).

- Solidarity, not Charity, a curated conversation with Ruth Catlow, Larisa Blazic, Camille Barbagallo, Anastasia Kavada and Cecilia Wee about the role practices of mutual aid play in times of uncertainty. Organised by [Common Bond Society](https://mutua.la/).
- Evidence by Alexis Pauline Gumbs. From the book *Octavia's Brood*.
- Chapter 3, The Mechanics of Improvised Relations by Abdoumaliq Simone. From the book *Rhythms of Endurance in an Urban South*.
