Taking Care

This event invites you to reflect on the role that care plays in your everyday life. Through a collaborative artmaking process, participants will contribute drawings, writing or stories about giving and receiving care. The question, what does care mean to you will be answered by add a growing body of emerging artwork for all to witness. The creations will take on a new life as they join an already existing collage of stories of caregivers and receivers from the posAbilities community.

In an attempt to be consciously accessible and include those who have historically been denied access to these kinds of conversations, this event will center the voices of persons with disabilities; it is a platform for persons with disabilities to tell and shape their own stories using different artistic mediums with no restrictions on how these stories are told. Through this project, we also want to recognize the efforts and voices of those in our community who work hard everyday in their role as formal or informal caregivers.

Join us in studio 102 of the Shadbolt centre for Arts on Sunday, April 28 at 11 am - 3 pm.

Presented as part of Connect Fest Burnaby
