This episode of CAA Conversations reprises themes from "Acts of Care," a CAA 112th Annual Conference panel (2024) sponsored by the Women's Caucus for Art. Moderated by Rachel Epp Buller, the discussion brings together four artists and art historians to consider how caring gestures and labors take shape across activist, academic, curatorial, and performance contexts.  Rachel Epp Buller is an artist, art historian, professor, and gallery director at Bethel College. Her books include Reconciling Art and Mothering and Inappropriate Bodies: Art, Design, and Maternity (edited with Charles Reeve). Her current research addresses listening as an artistic method. She is a two-time Fulbright Scholar and the CAA liaison to the Women's Caucus for Art.  Mya Dosch is Associate Professor of Art of the Americas at California State University, Sacramento. Their research focuses on art and urban space in Mexico City, from monuments to protest interventions, with a secondary research interest in art history pedagogy. Their work has appeared in Future Anterior, Sculpture Journal, and the edited volumes Teachable Monuments and Imágenes en colectivo. Elena Marchevska is Professor of Performance Studies at London South Bank University. Elena is a practitioner-researcher writing on issues of belonging, displacement, the border, and intergenerational trauma. Her artistic work explores borders and stories that emerge from living in transition. Gloria Dai is an independent curator, art critic, and graduate student in the Arts Management and Art History programs at George Mason University. Her professional work at GMU focuses on building the community through arts and culture activities and organizing educational programs. Recently, she curated the exhibit A Path to Healing & Transformation at the National Veterans Art Museum and co-curated RE(FORM)ER at Fenwick Gallery, George Mason University. Deirdre Donoghue is a visual and performance artist, practicing birth doula, and Research Associate at the Faculty of Arts at KU Leuven University in Antwerp, Belgium. Her work centers on issues of relationality and the aesthetics of care from feminist, decolonial, and posthumanist perspectives. In her artistic practice, she works across disciplines to design encounters that facilitate the production of new knowledge systems.
