Labour, Care and Solidarity with Charlotte Warne Thomas
Oriana Fox interviews artist Charlotte Warne Thomas about the insights gleaned from the research report she was commissioned to write on the precarious and often unpaid nature of artists' labour. Charlotte shares the impact that research has had on her art practice, which explores the relationships between labour, care and value. She delves into the ideologies behind the notions of meritocracy, 'labours of love' and talent. Matters of uncomfortable self-disclosure, specifically around privilege checking are also discussed. Lastly, the conversation turns to Charlotte's self-presentation online and the admirable frankness with which she discusses her challenges juggling the demands of being an artist, parent, researcher and teacher, as well as her recent bout with breast cancer.
