The online discussion on 7 March 2023, 15.00-16.30 CET, follows an episode of the podcast Points of Entry that was commissioned by On the Move and produced with the support of the French Ministry of Culture. It features a conversation with London-based journalist and critic Hettie Judah, author of the 2022 book How Not to Exclude Artist Mothers (and Other Parents). She addresses how discrimination against parenthood in the arts is an international issue, what arts professionals with care-taking responsibilities might need when they travel for their work, and what cultural organisations could do to be more parent-friendly.
On the Move would like to share more stories and information to highlight how structural limitations, lack of knowledge and awareness, generate inequalities in accessing international work opportunities in the arts and cultural sector.
Moderator: Yohann Floch (Directors of Operations, On the Move, Belgium). Panellists: Cassie Raine (PiPA, Parents and Carers In Performing Arts, United Kingdom), Emeka Udemba (Project Space Lagos, Nigeria) and Louise-Michèle You (L’avant-Courrier, France).
