Duration: 120 minutesAudience: Suitable for ages 16+Booking: Free / TicketedLocation: Rua Red Green RoomArtist Rachel Macmanus will hold a workshop on the theme of Art Actions as Care. As a carer herself, Rachel’s work is deeply influenced by her identity as a carer/parent.In contemporary Ireland, carers come in all shapes and genders. In our workshop, we’ll spend time discussing how the role of carer is valued by our society. Carers do different jobs- some work in the home, some in the community, some as professional carers. Deeply connected to caring is the notion of time passing. The job of caring is an endless one, that goes on day in day out and it deeply affects how you relate to time. Time and how it passes is an interesting element of the carer’s life that I will address in the workshop through various exercises and group work. We will also take time to celebrate and value the work of caring. In the workshop, we will use discussion, group and solo exercises, experimental action making, objects of power, observation and response exercises.Anyone with caring experience or interest in the workshop is invited to attend.
