Workshop | Redesigning Care with Emma Quin
Drawing on themes of female health, collective care, and alternative support systems, this session offers a space to listen, and connect with other artists. Inspired by the principles explored in Matriarchal Design Futures we’ll borrow and adapt exercises that centre nourishment, attunement, and shared responsibility as design tools. Together, we’ll consider how we can shape new ways of working and being, especially for artists navigating female health, cyclical time, and systems of support. Through conversation, and collaborative activities, we’ll reflect on how we care for ourselves and one another, and imagine new models for artistic sustainability and community. Materials and refreshments are provided. Limited spaces available.
About Emma Quin: Emma works within an undisciplinary, expansive artistic and curatorial practice. As a former sociology graduate, her work assumes a top-down approach, exploring sociological and philosophical theories through conceptualisation, collaboration, material and object. Emma has gravitated towards researching and contributing to artist-led spaces, projects and learning outside of traditional systems. As a Co-Director of the artist-led, voluntary-run space Catalyst Arts, Emma has co-curated a variety of projects as part of a non-hierarchical board. With support from the Jonathan Ruffer Curatorial Grant, Emma recently extended this interest to artist-led spaces in Glasgow.
