When? Where? By Whom? For Whom? Why? How?
18th of Feburary - 7th of May 2023, Art Tower Mito
The institutional redemption attempts to invite artists with care experience or obligations into spaces that are built on ignoring the social vast need for inclusion has been laughable as much as it has been trending. At the upcoming show at Art Tower Mito in Japan, curator Oko Goto has attacked the paradox of the uncaring exhibiting care by creating a radical show to push the framework and understanding of what Care, Mother and Parenthood is and could be.
