Workshop MATERNAL FANTASIES in Halle

Participatory performance and regional network meeting on art and parenthood
on 13. November 2024 von 10:00 bis 16:00 Uhr
A hybrid event organized by the Berufsverband Bildender Künstler Sachsen-Anhalt e.V. and Dornrosa e.V. Halle.

For artists who have children, the art world is full of structural hurdles. Parenthood and freelancing are difficult to reconcile and this is where we want to talk to you and change things! We have invited artists from the group MATERNAL FANTASIES to talk about their work processes in which they integrate their children. They will then lead a performative workshop in which both the participants and, if they wish, their children will present the First Supper (2023) by MATERNAL FANTASIES and eat it together. This will be captured photographically and thus incorporated into the serial photographic work of the artist group MATERNAL FANTASIES. For this reason, photo consent on site is a prerequisite for participation in the workshop.

Finally, the regional network Halle und Umgebung would like to use the inspiration together with you to make plans for the structural improvement of the situation of art-creating parents and to set impulses for collaborative work.

The exact schedule and further information on the event can be found on the info page.

Participation in the event is free of charge and is open to all interested parties, regardless of membership in the organizing associations!

It is possible to experience the lecture by MATERNAL FANTASIES digitally. This must be stated when registering. Participation in the subsequent workshop is only possible in presence.

Registration deadline is 31.10.2024. Later registrations are possible for digital participation; in presence subject to free places.

Venue: in Halle (Saale), more detailed information will follow
We will endeavor to provide childcare during the event. When registering, please indicate whether you require childcare and how old the children to be looked after are.
