About this Event

Baltic X MOTHEROTHER: Continuing the Conversation on Care
Saturday 19 October 2024 | 10am-4pm
Baltic Front Room

Artists who are also caregivers are invited to join a special daylong event designed to engage art-working caregivers, as well as regional arts organisations and institutions. Hosted by MOTHEROTHER and Baltic.

MOTHEROTHER is an inclusive and supportive collective for artists who are also caregivers. Here the term caregiver applies to the broad spectrum of parents, guardians and carers across our community.

This special event will bring together artists, academics, activists and curators, including Tahmina Alia, Dyana Gravina, Hettie Judah, Lady Kitt, Lauren McLaughlin, Rebecca Morrill and Martina Mullaney, as well as representatives from The NewBridge Project, Helix Arts and Baltic to lead a variety of talks, discussions and activities exploring:

Inclusivity and support for art-working parents and carers
Sustainability of self, practice and community for art-working parents and carers

The needs of the caregiver are at the heart of the organisation of the event, as such we will be offering free on-site support for dependants, child-friendly activities and refreshments. You will be able to come and go as you need, and we will encourage a warm and friendly atmosphere where dependent noise and activity is expected.

MOTHEROTHER is supportive network and artist-led initiative for artists with parenting and caregiving responsibilities. Founded by Sue Loughlin and supported by Lady Kitt, Dan Russell and Cheryl Gavin.
