Procreate Project

CHANGE OF PLANS: Our integrated Care Toolkit release is now postoponed to the 18th of April!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to reschedule the event. We have been informed that the lift at Whitechapel Gallery will be out of service and will not be repaired in time for our event. As our event was being held on the third floor, this represents an access barrier, and we feel that going ahead would impact and limit the experience of the event or stop participation completely.

Thankfully, we have been offered the new date of SATURDAY 18TH OF APRIL, so we are going to postpone the release until then, both at the Whitechapel and online.

Any tickets already booked will, of course, be valid for the new date. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience, and we hope to still see you there after the spring break.

If you haven’t booked a ticket yet, you can find the link in our bio. We’re so excited to gather and share this work with you!

Is any artists in our community are in Sweden, Gothenburg, today 23 Sept, please go meet Procreate Project founder and at . As always family friendly with space for all ages!

Today I am in Sweden, with my great companion , for a day at with the wonderful who are doing great work here.

Part of the Gothenburg Biennale, join us on Saturday from 11AM. Link in bio with more info.

Presentation 1PM: I will introduce examples of models that have instigated systemic change and life-changing support for organisations and artists working with Procreate Project. I will draw from personal experiences and academic research to discuss how a patriarchal capitalist development, linked with the emergence of the nuclear family, still impacts the way we perceive care work and informs current systems and initiatives, even those with a ‘feminist’ inspiration. 

A point for reflection will be dedicated to the q***ring potential of the Mother*, to reframe ‘mother’ as main subject for an anti patriarchal coalition, offering expansion and allow new radical collective care models to emerge.

At 15.45-16.45 I will facilitate a workshop to integrate the theoretical and conversational material explored earlier in the day.

Despite the deep level of physicality that giving birth and mothering involve, we can experience a sense of detachment from our own se*uality while our bodies become vectors of care, love and nourishment for others.

While unpacking the culturally predetermined ways in which we experience ourselves and our bodies when parenting, we will use somatic approaches and movement as tools for embodied art making and the creation of new narratives around the imagery of the Mother*/parent.
