“Workshop: EQUITY! Critical Self-Care
APRIL 03, 2019
DANCE STUDIO, THE AL & MALKA GREEN ARTISTS’ HEALTH CENTRE, TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL | 4:00 – 6:00PM
WHAT’S THIS GOT TO DO WITH STRESS?
Using a health equity lens, we’ll explore shared sources of stress and how self-care practices can meaningfully support artists’ wellbeing in the context of precarious work and intersecting inequities. We’ll take a critical eye to self-care messaging that is geared towards self-sufficiency and productivity and come to understand self-care as health practices which foster greater control over our art and lives.
In this workshop, you can expect to:
- Relate your own experiences as an artist to an equity-informed view of self-care
- Create a personalized self-care template you can use to develop self-care practices, now and in the future
- Exchange insight, experiences and stories with other participants (optional)
