Kate Just > Self Care Action Series

Consisting of over thirty hand-knitted, brightly-coloured panels bearing texts related to self-care, Self Care Action Series arose out of Kate Just’s well-known social justice and feminist art practice and reflects the artist’s knitted meditation on actions required to sustain oneself to do challenging work in a confronting world. As a queer feminist, artist teacher, advocate, activist, and parent who dedicates a lot of time working in the art world and real-world contexts to generate social and political chance, Just explores the radical history of self-care and its relevance to feminist practice by artists working for social change.

From panels directing us to "eat good food" to "learn something new", Self Care Action Series reiterates all the little things one can do in life to be mindful and present. Both conceptually and physically, Just's work wraps its warm embrace around us, reminding us that looking after ourselves and each other needs constant work but is ultimately rewarding.

Visit KATE JUST > SELF CARE ACTION SERIES from March 18 - June 4 at Linden New Art.
