Care and Connection with Anouk Hutmacher & Annelise Bergmann‑Zürcher

Authors Annelise Bergmann‑Zürcher (Récits du bas seuil. Parcours d’une infirmière, 2024) and Anouk Hutmacher (Il faudra que je m’habitue, 2025) present perspectives grounded in nursing and caregiving experiences.

They examine how relationships and the concept of care shape responses to illness, discussing encounters in asylum seeker centres and oncology wards. The discussion explores ethical tensions, emotional labour, and narrative forms that connect caregivers, patients and communities, and situates these reflections within the exhibition Hello, How Are You? Short Stories to Build Connections.
