About the project
Caring is a contract between two people. One accepts the need for care and the other agrees to provide care. Two people who do not know each other share an intimate moment, in which the needs of the person being cared for are met by the carer. Care is touching and supporting, a fundamental life experience. No one would be in this world without it – we are all born out of touch.
The Act of Caring is the first part of Gabriela Ariana’s project entitled Mother. In this project, motherhood, or in the artist’s own words, mothering, does not depend on gender, but it is something that is in every person who cares for other people.
The performance lasts for approximately 90 minutes.
