Join Procreate Project to celebrate the release of the new free, open-source Integrated Care Toolkit. We will celebrate the webpage going live together, with an interactive guide through the sections by founder Dyana Gravina, accompanied by other researchers and artists connected to the work.
This Toolkit is a home for artists, organisers and cultural workers interested in embedding Integrated Care in their work. It’s a printable, modular roadmap designed to help reimagining spaces, politics, and practices to centre and support people with caring responsibilities within the arts and culture.
Artists who are mothers and primary caregivers have long been facing systemic bias and barriers in the art world. They account for barely a third of artists represented in major galleries, an inequity compounded by the lack of infrastructure that drives many out during the crucial years of pregnancy and parental labour.
Whether you are creating online workshops, social platforms, exhibitions, residencies or community projects, this Toolkit offers resources, examples, and practical guidance to re-shape and create spaces, politics and practices that centre and support people with caring responsibilities. It aims to engage individuals and organisations to adopt inclusive, non-tokenistic practices within the arts and culture.
It draws on 13 years of hands-on practice. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable to other contexts of work and communities, and takes the form of an interactive website, a downloadable PDF with additional resources and a book that expands on the personal, political and historical framework that surrounds and grounds this work.
