Season 2: Rethinking Systems

Rachel Epp Buller and Elena Marchevska discuss care, sustainability and resilience of art practice with Deirdre M. Donoghue.

Deirdre M. Donoghue (Finland/Ireland, 1971) is an artist based in Rotterdam. In her work Donoghue often seeks to set-up situations where multiple relations can be set into motion and the production of new knowledge through cross-disciplinary methods and approaches mobilized. Her work has a strong basis in research with current interests involving the production of a Self through memory, language and representation and the construction and affect of narratives in the very molding of our identities and becoming of subjects, within both our personal and the larger surrounding cultural contexts that we are part of. More about Deirdre's work here.

Season 2: Rethinking Systems

Maternal labour is invisible and we need more than ever artist-designed strategies for change and initiatives that propose alternative ways of being with/without children; intervening in systems and institutions. Join us for this season, to discuss this in dialogue with some of the most prominent thinkers in the field!

Can mothers be "at home" in the art world? Join Rachel Epp Buller for a conversation with two artists, Weronika Zielińska and Ruchika Wason Singh, who set out to prove they could, by establishing residency programs that blurred the lines between home and studio and by spotlighting women across Asia who sought to balance the competing demands of art and mothering.

Weronika Zielińska-Klein is the leader of Autonomous Practices at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. She also is founder and director of Upominki, a non-profit contemporary art space that focuses on hospitality, reciprocity and gift-giving theory. www.upominki.nl

Ruchika Wason Singh is an artist, researcher and art educator based in Delhi. In 2016, she founded the Archive for Mapping Mother Artists in Asia to foster the mapping, visibility and mobility of mothers/artists of Asian origin through documentation, workshops and artist residency programs. ruchikawasonsingh.com. www.ammaathearchive.com
