Description:	An essay that considers issues of the social reproduction of 'care' in curatorial practice and museums, against the emergence of recent dialogues on wellbeing in the UK. Examines the work of two artists, Mierle Laderman Ukeles and Rabab Ghazoul in relation to performativity, gender, and audience participation. Addresses critical concepts from Pierre Bourdieu, Bernard Steigler and feminist political theorists such as Nancy Fraser.
