Associate Artist Scheme

Work made or written by artists during pregnancy or in their child(ren)’s early years about their new parenthood experiences, uniquely documents a period in life that is at once the most intensely felt and yet the least likely to be accurately captured by long-term memory. This is why DIEP places progressive works of art and literature at the centre of all its research and other projects.

Members of DIEP‘s Associate Artists Programme are all professional contemporary artists who have made important work in response to their own pregnancy, birth and/or new parenthood journeys. They are based all over the world and their work spans the visual, performing, literary, film and digital disciplines.
