Witchcraft, Care and Reproductive Rights: Art Working Parents Alliance
Join Modern Art Oxford and the Art Working Parents Alliance (AWP) for an afternoon of conversation inspired by Olivia Plender’s Little Fennel’s Complaint.
Free access to the exhibitions and a curator-led introduction to Little Fennel’s Complaint. Together, we’ll explore themes of reproductive rights, midwifery, witchcraft and the histories of women’s healthcare, alongside questions of care, labour and parenthood that are central to AWP’s work.
Complimentary tea and biscuits. Children are welcome to attend, and only one ticket is required per adult.

The Art Working Parents Alliance (AWP) is a nation-wide network supporting, connecting and advocating on behalf of parents working in the art world – mothers, fathers and others. Founded in 2022 by Jo Harrison and Hettie Judah, AWP is free to join. Its members hail from sectors including academia, commercial galleries, public organisations, education, communications and the media, alongside artists.
Jo Harrison is a curator and arts worker based in London whose practice focuses on gender, work and economies of care. She is co-founder of the Art Working Parents Alliance, Director at The Approach and runs ‘Repronomics’, a research project exploring social reproduction and cultural production as invisible and exploitable ‘labours of love’ under capitalism. She runs an itinerant reading group with a focus on feminism, social reproduction, labour and economics, and regularly organises public events including workshops and panel discussions.
