Frieze Week is the art world’s most intense exercise in determining value. But what about us?
At The Measure of Value, our members’ conversation at Roseberys Belgravia, the discussion turned to how we measure our own worth as professionals.
So much of our sense of value comes from outside us: titles, salaries, promotions, invitations. But what happens when those markers don’t reflect what we actually contribute?
Our speakers talked about learning to trust their own judgement over time, about women’s careers still taking longer to rise, and the quiet systems that hold us up, like the friends we message when things fall apart.
One idea stayed with us: time, care and rest are valuable too, even when nobody puts a price on them.
So this week, between the fairs, the openings and the dinners, give yourself some. AWITA HOUSE is open on Berkeley Square until Friday for members and friends: a quiet corner, a coffee, a seat in the garden and a moment to regroup 🙏🏼☕️
With thanks to Clare Carlisle, Alice Bailey, Caroline Hussey-Bain, Henrietta Thompson and Roseberys for hosting.
