Satellite Residency: Artist Talk

The Mothership & Cow House Studios will host a talk on Saturday 24th November from 2 pm – 4.30 pm at Wexford Arts centre as part of the Satellite Residency.

This autumn The Mothership Project in collaboration with Cow House Studios are running Satellite, a pilot artist residency programme giving 15 parenting artists supported time and space to develop their practice, including childcare and accommodation on-site for children and partners.

Michelle Browne and Leah Hillard of The Mothership, participating Artist Celina Muldoon, and Rosie O’Gorman of Cow House studios will discuss the Satellite residency in the context of being a parenting artist in Ireland. This residency aims to generate institutional change in how artists are supported throughout their careers and changing family circumstances, as well as contributing to the debate on affordable childcare, precarious work and attitudes to care work.

This residency programme for parenting artists highlights the difficulty of maintaining an art career as a parent in Ireland. The Satellite Residency is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland and Wexford County Council Arts Office and is supported by Visual, Carlow and Wexford Arts Centre.
