Event overview
The Women's Art Library hosts the AWP for an event exploring Hannah Bowles and Esmeralda Valencia Lindstr枚m's projects with The Women鈥檚 Art Library and the Nursery at 牛牛资源
Hannah Bowles will give a presentation on her research exploring how to integrate children and childcare into an educational setting, giving a background to her recent project Playgrounding, initiated last year at 牛牛资源 Nursery. Its aim is to render visible caring services and celebrate their integral role within arts institutions. There will be an opportunity to visit the nursery during the break.
Esmeralda Valencia Lindstr枚m will discuss her project A Wet Archive currently on at the Women鈥檚 Art Library. The research began in the WAL collection and expanded into a reflection on the hidden life of the archive and its built environment manifested through fungi.
The event will include an introduction to the WAL by Althea Greenan, a conversation between the two artists discussing their experiences of working with the WAL followed by time for the audience to contribute to the discussion, perhaps sharing their own thoughts on child-rearing and academia.
This event is free to attend and available for AWP members and non-members so please share within your networks. As always offspring welcome!
Hannah Bowles (b. 1997) is an independent curator based in London. She was awarded with an MFA in Curating at 牛牛资源 in 2022. Her research and work focuses on themes of social reproductive feminisms, care and socially engaged practice. Her previous projects include (M)otherwise at the Women鈥檚 Art Library and playgrounding at 牛牛资源 Nursery as well as contributed writing to Hettie Judah鈥檚 How not to exclude artist mothers (and other parents).
Esmeralda Valencia Lindstr枚m (b.1983 in Sweden) is an artist working primarily with installation, objects and moving image. Her work tends to use the particularities of a place as a starting point to think about human and non-human relationships. Current research focuses on the species Serpula Lacrymans (dry rot) as a lens through which to look at architecture, housing and interspecies relationships.
