US-based artists Christa Donner and Selina Trepp discuss their collaborative work on the problem of professional inclusion for artists and cultural workers who are also parents. Through Cultural ReProducers, a creative platform initiated by Christa Donner, they experimented and devised a Childcare Supported Event Series that allowed artist-parents to maintain professional engagement in the art world. We learn:
-What challenges cultural workers face in continuing their professional engagement with the art world;
-How these challenges may be exacerbated by gendered expectations around caregiving and the labor of raising children;
-The experience that made Christa and Selina realize that a clear mission statement was a critical first step to introduce the project to cultural institutions;
-Key technical details about the model- including space requirements, timing, staffing, and programming info- that are necessary for improved professional inclusion of parents.
