Elena Cologni with Deborah Krall and Laura Silagi in LA (2023)
Cologni’s Mother Art Collective: Towards a Feminist Care Aesthetics, winner of the Getty Research Institute Grant 2023 is developing in collaboration with LA based collective through the dialogic approach Caring-with (Cologni 2020).
After research at the Getty and a series of interviews I wrote Cologni, E. (2024). Mother(ings): From the home to the planet. A dialogue between Mother Art Collective and Elena Cologni. http://doi.org/10.26209/ijea25si1.6 and presented the developing research at Sapienza, Universita’ di Roma, in October 2024 Percezione, incarnazione (embodiment), contaminazione/i: L’artista come ferita. Praticare un’estetica della cura femminista (details here CS seminario Elena Cologni_02)
The project is developing further in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art MLAC (Raffaella Perna and Ilaria Schiaffini) and Giardino Botanico, Sapienza University Rome, the Getty Research Institute (LA), and the University of California Los Angeles Mathias Botanical Gardens.
Watch out for our work in LA in 2025 as we develop the exhibition project!!
