“Support is a type of relationship between people, objects, social forms, and political structures, in the same way that participation, or conflict, are other forms of relations; each proposes a specific mode of operation, language, and further relations. Support allows a particular investigation in how we might work together toward change, and becomes critical in allowing a form of political imagination to take place, both as a position and a practice; it invites readings and inhabitations of relationships between power structures, social realities, and institutional forms. There are many forms of support, but nothing is inherently supportive just as nothing is inherently conflictual” Condorelli, C. and Weizman, E.
