About this event:
Laura Nyahuye (Maokwo Arts) and Heaven Crawley (Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, Coventry University) are, respectively, an artist and a research professor based in Coventry, UK.
Whilst they might appear to have little in common, the COVID-19 lockdown provided them with an opportunity to draw together their personal and professional experiences in order to reflect on issues of migration, resilience and hope in times of crisis. Individually and through conversations with each another by email, WhatsApp and Zoom, they took the opportunity provided by the lockdown to explore their shared experiences as women, wives, (grand)mothers and survivors of hardship and domestic violence, producing a series of creative outputs (prose, drawings, body adornment, photography, video) exploring the ways in which their own and societal expectations of gendered and racialized roles and responsibilities have shaped their lives.
By sharing their experiences – often in very frank and explicit ways – through The Artist and the Professor, the Mother and the Wife, they want to highlight the ways in which women can come together to push against the categories that limit individual and collective possibilities for change.
Join Laura and Heaven in conversation as they talk about their work together.
Chair: Professor Vicki Squire, The University of Warwick
