Performances- Curator / Team
- Curator: Boryana Petkova
“Who is Taking Care of the Caregiver?” is a performance piece that highlights the labor of caregiving, drawing attention to both societal expectations and the emotional landscapes of the caregiver. During the performance, a list of around 300 responsibilities commonly expected of mothers is read aloud, cataloging tasks that range from the mundane to the emotionally burdensome. At the same time, assistants unravel fabric strings inscribed with reflective questions- expressions of love, frustration, exhaustion, and resilience. This dual narrative juxtaposes the external demands of caregiving with its internal toll, revealing the often-unseen labor that sustains families and societies.
