Ten artists exhibiting for the first time in France question how activism, mutual aid, feminism, Indigenous knowledge, queer desire, creative survival, and a closer relationship to the land can contribute to a better recognition of care as a powerful social and cultural force.
Because care is now becoming a political and artistic issue, the Art Centre is presenting a reflexive and practice-based collective exhibition on care. Canadian, English and Indigenous artists offer new perspectives on the precariousness of artistic labour, gendered and racialized carework, economic crises, mass incarceration, mobility and migration, queer and non-conforming bodies, death and dying, and environmental stewardship.
The shared political proposition of these artist projects pivots on care as a possible nodal point among a multitude of actions, struggles, and visions that “re-place” care “as an arche of human existence and of social relations.” Extended by a series of performances, talks, and workshops, Take Care asks if an expansive conception of care can open common discursive ground toward linking multiple struggles locally and globally?
