All are welcome to attend an open reception on Feb. 14 from 4 to 6 p.m.
‘Capacities of Care’
Capacities of Care is a concept framework to understand and explore how care relationships manifest in our lives in distinct and interconnected ways. The Capacities of Care framework includes five inter-linking domains:
- Self-care: Acts in consideration of one’s own well-being.
- Caregiving: Acts invested in the well-being of another.
- Care Receiving: Awareness of another’s contribution to one’s own well-being.
- Community Care: Collective act is whereby individual and group considerations for well-being are exchanged.
- Artificial Care: Awareness of non-human, sometimes technological, contributions to well-being.
The exhibition is a part of a larger effort in research creation in arts in health focused on care ethics, creative practice and narrative inquiry. Featured artists include Eric Anthony Berdis, Rachel Epp Buller, Anne Cutri, Rachel Fitzpatrick, Brandi Lewis, Zsuzsanna Nagy, Jessica Roseman, Steven Rubin, Sue Uhlig, Helen G. Velásquez Martínez and Emily Van Walleghen.
