Colleen Phelon Hall will lead a discussion on the complicated and demanding role of caregiver, one often viewed primarily as "women's work." Specifically, she will explore the complexities and challenges of being part of the "Sandwich Generation," one in which women must simultaneously manage the care of children and aging parents. Her 2013 TEDxRVA talk, The Permission Slip, outlines her call for women to actively participate in self-care through the ritual writing of permission slips. Hall hopes to bring women to the table of creation by gathering their input and making artwork that reflects their feedback. After working as a successful commissioned artist for over 21 years, Hall is finally giving herself permission to artistically explore the realities of women's lives. Her new website www.reallymessy.com serves as a forum for her new work.
