Both Hats On: Meetup & Rider for Artist-Parents
Becoming a parent while sustaining a life as an artist raises questions rarely addressed in the spaces where we talk about artistic practice, labour, or care.
How do you keep working when studios, residencies, funding schemes, and rehearsal spaces were never built with parenthood in mind, as Lucy Jones addresses in her book Matrescence? What do fair working conditions even mean, when unpaid care work is so often invisible in how we plan, budget, and negotiate our practice?
This meet-up brings artist-parents in The Netherlands together to talk challenges, share best practices, and build community and within the workshop we will start drafting a rider naming the working conditions artist-parents need to do their work and raise their children.
Bring your questions, your experience, and, if needed, your child. This is the beginning of a conversation we hope continues well beyond one morning.
Date & Time: 30.10.26 | 9:30–13:30 Location: Garage Rotterdam Language: English | Free Facilities: Breastfeeding space & changing table on-site
Bring your questions, your experience. Let’s build a more supportive future for artist-parents. 💪
