not her(e): A Workshop is a collaborative art-making and group discussion for caregivers and those they look after. So much about becoming a parent or a full-time caregiver is about becoming a tool, a piece of furniture, a physical, emotional, psychological support for another individual or small, growing being. What does it mean to enter into this role? How has your identity as an individual changed? Based on group discussion on our collective feelings on caregiving, we will take self-portrait images/brainstorm wearable objects that function as useful tools in our everyday caregiver routines and serve as reflections of our personal identities.
This workshop will be held over Zoom. Caregivers are welcome to attend with their children and adult charges, or solo; please make this the space you need. Feel free to move in and out of the workshop to take care of yourself/your charges as needed.
