CITRUS fest
WHO
CARES?
12:00PM – 10:00PM
42 Waterloo Street
What care do we need from ourselves and others?
Can we shape caring in more communal ways?
How do we find joy in the work of care?
If you care, you're invited! CITRUS fest: Who Cares? is a three-day 'potluck' festival of communal dinners, workshops and conversations by and for arts workers, and more. Join us at 42 Waterloo Street where we'll be cooking up care practices across Singapore's arts ecosystem.
CITRUS fest: Who Cares? welcomes all to bring generosity to the table. What ideas of communal care do you have? What insights and experiences can you share with others? (More physical offerings of snacks are also welcome - the festival pantry is open to all to share and contribute!)
Organised by CITRUS practices in partnership with the National Arts Council's Arts Resource Hub, and part of Wellness Festival Singapore 2024.

BRING YOUR
PLATE
To look at food, shared nourishment and rest as the first principles of care. How do you care for yourself as a living being, above and beyond your work in the arts? When well and rested, what kind of energies might you bring to engage with others? What might emerge from these connections?

BRING YOUR
SOCKS
To approach care as an active and ongoing journey of learning and discovery. What new tools might help us care better for ourselves and others? How do we create and maintain safer spaces to practise these tools? How do we ask for and offer feedback in generative and joyful ways?

BRING YOUR QUESTIONS
To take stock of what is already being done to care for specific groups of arts workers, paying attention to the questions and gaps that remain. We ask: in your ideal arts ecosystem, what kind of care practices exist? What might tangible change look like across your various contexts?

CITRUS practices
CITRUS practices stands for Care, Intimacy, TRaUma-informed and Safer practices in the arts. We are a gathering of arts workers who first came together in 2020.
We seek to infuse zest into enabling greater sustainability in the arts. By engaging with people and organisations – within and beyond the arts – we connect and expand conversations around the structures and conditions of working in the arts today.
Our shared horizon is for the arts to deeply care for, refresh and nourish both arts workers and audiences alike.
