Mama Needs a Raise! : Towards a Utopian Care Economy
The Old Stone House in Washington Park - 5th Ave btwn 3rd and 4th Streets, Brooklyn, NY
On View: March 24 - May 12, 2024
If you’re around New York City, come check out "Mama Needs a Raise! Toward a Utopian Care Economy" at the Old Stone House. The show unpacks the myriad forms of unpaid “invisible” or “emotional labor” that parents face at all life stages, including their relationship to such factors as race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status and disability. Other artists propose both real and imagined “Utopian” alternatives, from collective childcare to paid leave to an art world that actually welcomes parents.
You can finally get a good look at my multispecies “Creative Kinship Diagram,” also featured online in the Center for Humans and Nature project Making Kin - Worlds Becoming.
Participating Artists include: Allison Belolan, Shweta Bist, Orly Cogan, Christa Donner, Anna Grevenitis, Kim Hopson, Ashley January, Taja Lindley, Caroline McAuliffe, Bakula Nayak, Jocelyn Russell, Sara Shaoul, Victoria Smits, Maggie Wong, Nina Wood, Betty Yu
