HomeTraining:  An Experiential Gallery Show

SOUTH DOWNTOWN | MULTI-MEDIA ART EXPERIENCE | LIVE PERFORMANCE

Historic H.L. Green Building

Atlanta, GA 30303

SYNOPSIS:
Home Training is an Experiential Gallery Show featuring the work of 18 female and female-identifying artists working in a diverse range of mediums including performance, sculpture, textiles, painting, photography, short film, and experiential soundscape.  Over the last year and a half, the pandemic has forced more than 5 million women out of the American workforce, and their labor participation rate has plummeted to a level not seen since 1988.  Home spaces transformed into schools, childcare centers, studios, and film sets in service of the necessary, often unpaid labor female artists engage in to make and sustain their craft. How have women artists responded to the national conversation surrounding “essential” work and workers? What has shifted to accommodate new creative spaces, closer quarters, isolating circumstances, diminishing funding, and employment/industry instability?  HomeTraining is an exploration of the work created when the convergence of home and artistic lives cultivates new ways of thinking, making, and doing. 

Curated and produced by the team behind HEREafter, Episodes 1 and 2: Kelly Bartnik and Kathleen Wessel of Combo Platter Productions, LLC.
