THANK YOU all so much for gathering last Saturday at . Thank you to Helen and team for such a wonderful hosting.
It was incredible to celebrate the 13th birthday of Procreate Project and this new birth, and to be surrounded by a supportive online and in person presence for it.
The Integrated Care Toolkit is now online at toolkit.procreateproject.com. The download link for the Integrated Care Handbook is working, and you can use the Download page to claim it. A special thank you to the designer and project and web developers and
Please do send any feedback you might have. I hope this resource accompanies you well in your current and future creative ventures.
đź“ŤPlease remember to add your projects to the Map. There is also the possibility to include past projects, with a filter that allows them to be recognised and found. This was an important layer to add, to make sure that through this map of acknowledgement and connection, and despite the interrupted history of care and feminist practices, past efforts are reconciled with current ones.
It is important to me to create a sense of continuity, rather than remaining in the perpetual “first and only ever” attitude to culture making.
So if you have, or know of, past and present projects that have worked structurally to support artists and audiences with caring responsibilities, please add them to the network.
Any questions, notes, wishes, please email.
Stay connected, love
Dyana

✨ Announcement: A New Chapter for Mother House Studios: Lewisham
Originally founded by Dyana Gravina (dygravina) as part of Procreate Project, Mother House Studios model has always been about reimagining how artists can make art, build community and feel supported, especially while caregiving.
In 2016, the first Mother House Studio was a direct response to the lack of infrastructure for artist mothers and primary caregivers. Since then, and from 2018 together with Paola Lucente (), the project has evolved into a powerful model for care-centred, community-rooted workspaces with integrated space for children.
We are excited to announce that from July 2025, the Lewisham satellite of the Mother House Studios, will be led by a dedicated collective of artists and creatives who have been part of the space since its early days (Introductions will follow). With support and mentoring from the founder during the transition, the Lewisham group has now formed their own Community Interest Company, taking on full management of the studios and community locally.
❤️ While the Lewisham space will be independently run, it remains proudly part of the wider Mother House Studios movement, guided by shared values of care, collaboration, and family inclusion in the arts.
🤝 Dyana will continue to support the project as a founding advisor, joining the Lewisham advisory board.
This marks a joyful handover and a deepening of the decentralised, artist-led nature of the vision behind Mother House Studios and Procreate Project.
Join us for an open studio to celebrate this growth on the 28th of June and follow the new account to connect with the local community.
Thank you to everyone who has shaped this journey so far. We’re excited for what’s ahead.
