About
<p>No one is immune to the byproducts of compulsory schooling and standardized testing. And while reform may be a worthy cause for some, it is not enough for countless others still trying to navigate the tyranny of what schooling has always been.<span> </span><em>Raising Free People</em><span> </span>argues that we need to build and work within systems truly designed for any human to learn, grow, socialize, and thrive, regardless of age, ability, background, or access to money.</p>
<p>Families and conscious organizations across the world are healing generations of school wounds by pivoting into self-directed, intentional community-building, and<span> </span><em>Raising Free People</em><span> </span>shows you exactly how unschooling can help facilitate this process.</p>
<p>Individual experiences influence our approach to parenting and education, so we need more than the rules, tools, and “bad adult” guilt trips found in so many parenting and education books. We need to reach behind our behaviors to seek and find our triggers; to examine and interrupt the ways that social issues such as colonization still wreak havoc on our ability to trust ourselves, let alone children.<span> </span><em>Raising Free People</em><span> </span>explores examples of the transition from school or homeschooling to unschooling, how single parents and people facing financial challenges unschool successfully, and the ways unschooling allows us to address generational trauma and unlearn the habits we mindlessly pass on to children.</p>
<p>In these detailed and unabashed stories and insights, Richards examines the ways that her relationships to blackness, decolonization, and healing work all combine to form relationships and enable community-healing strategies rooted in an unschooling practice. This is how millions of families center human connection, practice clear and honest communication, and raise children who do not grow up to feel that they narrowly survived their childhoods.</p>

About
<p>Children inevitably turn to their parents for more than just food and security; equally important are assurance, recognition, and interpretation of life. A child develops best in an environment where creativity and discovery are unimpeded by the artificial restrictions of blind faith and dogmatic belief.<em>Parenting without God<span> </span></em>is for parents, and future parents, who lack belief in a god and are seeking guidance on raising freethinkers and social-justice-aware children in a nation where public dialogue has been controlled by the Christian Right.</p>
<p>Dan Arel, activist and critically acclaimed author, has penned a magnificently practical guide to help parents provide their children with the intellectual tools for standing up to attempts at religious proselytism, whether by teachers, coaches, friends, or other family members.<span> </span><em>Parenting without God<span> </span></em>is also for the parent activist who is trying to make the world a better place for all children by first educating their own children about racism, sexism, and all forms of discrimination that serve as barriers to the fundamentals of human dignity and democracy. It’s for parents who wish for their children to question everything and to learn how to reach their own conclusions based on verifiable evidence and reason. Above all, Arel makes the penetrating argument that parents should lead by example—both by speaking candidly about the importance of secularism and by living an openly and unabashedly secular life.</p>
<p><em>Parenting without God<span> </span></em>is written with humility, compassion, and understanding. Dan Arel’s writing conveys the unmistakable impression of a loving father dedicated to redefining the role of parenthood so that it also includes the vitally important task of nurturing every child’s latent impulse for freedom and autonomy.</p>
<p>This second edition has been expanded with new material from the author.</p>

About
<p>In lives where there is a new diagnosis or drama every day, the stories in this collection provide parents of “special needs” kids with a welcome chuckle, a rock to stand on, and a moment of reality held far enough from the heart to see clearly. Featuring works by “alternative” parents who have attempted to move away from mainstream thought—or remove its influence altogether—this anthology, taken as a whole, carefully considers the implications of parenting while raising children with disabilities.</p>
<p>From professional writers to novice storytellers including Robert Rummel-Hudson, Ayun Halliday, and Kerry Cohen, this assortment of authentic, shared experiences from parents at the fringe of the fringes is a partial antidote to the stories that misrepresent, ridicule, and objectify disabled kids and their parents.</p>

About
<p><em>Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood</em><span> </span>combines the best pieces from the award-winning zine<span> </span><em>Rad Dad</em><span> </span>and from the blog<span> </span><em>Daddy Dialectic</em>, two kindred publications that have tried to explore parenting as political territory. Both of these projects have pushed the conversation around fathering beyond the safe, apolitical focus most books and websites stick to; they have not been complacent but have worked hard to create a diverse, multi-faceted space in which to grapple with the complexity of fathering.</p>
<p>Today more than ever, fatherhood demands constant improvisation, risk, and struggle. With grace and honesty and strength,<span> </span><em>Rad Dad’s</em><span> </span>writers tackle all the issues that other parenting guides are afraid to touch: the brutalities, beauties, and politics of the birth experience, the challenges of parenting on an equal basis with mothers, the tests faced by transgendered and gay fathers, the emotions of sperm donation, and parental confrontations with war, violence, racism, and incarceration.<span> </span><em>Rad Dad</em><span> </span>is for every father out in the real world trying to parent in ways that are loving, meaningful, authentic, and ultimately revolutionary.</p>

Curatorial Statement
<span>The current Covid-19 pandemic reveals the difficulty, labor dynamics, and joys of family life. As the national health crisis redefines our homes and what we value, many parents struggling to hold jobs have been forced to become full-time caregivers, teachers, tech support, and emotional support to their children. Artists Jessica Witte and Christine A. Holtz highlight the chaos and catharsis of parenthood amplified by the current situation. Both use their children as subject matter and inspiration; often using repetition to speak to the mundane. The investment of time in the hand-embroidered cloth and floor quilt drawings spotlight the work of caregiving. Both artists are teaching online, homeschooling their children, and making art in response to this new normal.</span>

Artist Statement
<p>I am a Portuguese interdisciplinary artist living and working in Southern California. My lived experience and my interest in activism are the driving forces in my creative process. I use my artwork as a tool for activism, drawing on social issues that have affected me on a personal level, such as my experience of motherhood, the politics of childbirth or sexual violence. My artwork explores universal issues of gender and collective identity, culture, memory and loss, while it is imbued with the feeling of saudade, a typically Portuguese trait roughly translated as a nostalgic longing or yearning of someone or something of the past.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have used a wide range of media - including painting, installation, social practice, video and sound - but drawing and photography remain at the core of my practice. Influenced by Vija Celmins's drawings, Andrea Bowers use of text and activism and Suzanne Lacy’s commitment to social justice, my work examines inequality and is borne out of a desire to call attention to the often invisible and overlooked issues that affect primarily women.<br /><br />@celiarochastudio</p>

Artist Statement
<p>My artwork is a visual diary about my obsessive thoughts and humorous take on habit, identity and time. Juggling three part-time jobs in addition to being an artist, spouse and mother feels like I live six different lives simultaneously. I constantly try to make sense of the nonsensical through installations, sculptures and performances. As a pathway to self-inquiry, I meticulously craft ridiculous objects and performances to visually embody the absurdities of my daily experiences. The processes are both a struggle and cathartic — just like parenting.</p>

<p>Pandemic Letter #1 May 28, 2020</p>
<p>This video was created at what we considered to be the beginning of the pandemic as we were trying to figure out how to cope with our new existence under lockdown and how to communicate this new reality to our child. My partner and collaborator Angela Beallor helped record the video, shooting on a DSLR with a macro lens. Our kid turned three right before I wrote this. Now, they are four. So far, we have survived this pandemic with little personal loss but not without the stresses that come along with constantly being on for work, for our family, and for our community. We continue to struggle as a queer family in a predominately heteronormative parent community and we continue to work, as a white family, for racial justice in our town.</p>

Artist Statement
<p>It almost feels like I have spent the past two years in isolation. I’ve been consistently trying to navigate my <span>artistic</span> practice through intense waves of grief over the loss of my mum, infertility/miscarriage, and a fear of dying. Things have shifted in the last 4 months, with added postpartum anxieties, healing associated with childbirth, obsessive tracking of my baby’s feeds, breastfeeding struggles and COVID 19. With the COVID pandemic, there were increased anxieties surrounding my newborns health. Will my baby be okay? What if my baby gets sick? What about check-ups? Am I feeding my baby enough? what if my milk dries up and I can’t feed my baby? What if I get sick and can't feed my baby? Am I spending adequate time with my oldest child?</p>
<p>As a way to ease my anxieties, I started pumping breast milk. I would pump at 5:00 every morning after our first feed. I began writing thoughts or worries along with the date on each bag of breastmilk. I would then photograph the bags of breastmilk as a way to document life postpartum, anxieties about mumhood and life in COVID19. The act of pumping breastmilk and freezing was a ritualistic and meditative way for me to cope and eased anxieties around getting sick and not being able to feed my baby.</p>
<p>Postpartum anxieties are exacerbated by the times we are living in.</p>

Artist Statement
Are We There Yet? is a series of large-format photographs exploring modern fatherhood. Utilizing moments of humor and satire, the highly constructed tableau images create scenarios that play out the anxieties and everyday encounters of being a dad in rural, suburban America. After finding myself married with three kids and living in a small suburban-esque neighborhood filled with cookie-cutter houses, things that I never exactly imagined or planned for, the idealized notions of the American family have become increasingly significant as well as overwhelming to me. Between the patriarchal depictions of fatherhood in the 1980s and 1990s media that influenced my idea of family through my childhood, to the contemporary pressures of being an involved and nurturing father, all the while not really having any idea of how to be a father at all, this project is my way of trying to understand where I exist within this spectrum, and what fatherhood, family, and masculinity mean to me. Each image deals with relatable parenting struggles and the stereotypes associated with fatherhood, including the realities of managing chaos, the high levels of tension, the feelings of lost identity and inadequacy, and the sheer love of being a parent. They juxtapose the highly polished and colorful elements within everyday family life with scenarios and symbolic elements that create a sense of unease and exhaustion. The result creates a surreal and often humorous narrative that provides relatability to a broad spectrum of viewers and questions the constructions that drive modern parenting. If we can’t laugh, we cry. Sometimes we do both.

I have always painted my immediate surroundings in an effort to decipher the world around me. Often my works depict familar domestic scenes with simple yet layered narratives. My most recent works are a thinly veiled attempt to navigate my journey through the convoluted dynamics of parenthood and the unavoidable life transitions inherent on this journey.

About
<span>Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer black feminists of the 1970s and ’80s, </span><em>Revolutionary Mothering</em><span> places marginalized mothers of color at the center of a world of necessary transformation. The challenges we face as movements working for racial, economic, reproductive, gender, and food justice, as well as anti-violence, anti-imperialist, and queer liberation are the same challenges that many mothers face every day. Oppressed mothers create a generous space for life in the face of life-threatening limits, activate a powerful vision of the future while navigating tangible concerns in the present, move beyond individual narratives of choice toward collective solutions, live for more than ourselves, and remain accountable to a future that we cannot always see. </span><em>Revolutionary Mothering</em><span> is a movement-shifting anthology committed to birthing new worlds, full of faith and hope for what we can raise up together.</span><br /><br /><span>Contributors include June Jordan, Malkia A.

Artist Statement
Why do we connect? What are the foundations on which connection is built? How do we nurture deep connection?
I have been exploring the phenomena and ecology of connection and belonging for more than a decade. My work examines our needs and motivations, the formative effect of culture and life history on identity, and the powerful influence that objects, experiences, and environment have on our well-being and relationships. In practice, I weave connection into the artistic process by bridging ideas and disciplines— applying 2D visual principles in 3D space, for example, and applying fine art, decorative and craft techniques. Scratch-built components may be combined with current, mass-produced materials, particularly in the installations, to ground a work in the present even when its inspiration is found in the past.
In my body of work, I have looked at the ways connection and belonging are expressed in romantic relationships relative to a single identity (1), and in national identity relative to the life cycle of a species (2). I have recast creative partners as a sacred ideal (3), and recreated sites of profound physical and spiritual union (4). I have challenged sexual and political power dynamics among social groups (5), and depicted temptation and sisterhood in sapphic narrative poetry (6), I have crossed cultures to create a fresh aesthetic language for modern marital relationships, fusing French and Inuit fairy and folk tales with arch-rib barns and Gothic churches (7), and the decorative arts of nomadic peoples from Mongolia to the Mojave (8). I have related the emotional experience of love to physical and visual sensations (9). I have translated the process of rehabilitation into a journey of connections between individuals, systems and the broader community (10). I have presented shelter and security as the basis for healthy intimate and parental relationships (11). Recently, I remodelled a mass-produced dollhouse into a one-of-a-kind heirloom, to describe how legacy and maternal identity connects generations of family (12).
While rooted in an ongoing practice of communicating connection and belonging in art by building immersive, experiential installations, my recent work is a deeply engaging progression into more visceral and nuanced emotional territory, and more daring and experimental explorations of materials, scale and collaboration. My work often seeks to translate our darker human struggles into objects and environments of protection, joy, and beauty. Recent shifts in our cultural and political climate, coupled with research and conversations I’ve had with healthcare professionals, mental health professionals, academics, and my own peer group of women, mothers and families, has convinced me that motherhood and maternal identity are important artistic subjects worth exploring, and that my approach is unique and substantive. In an increasingly divided and isolating culture, it is not simply relevant to lay bare the struggle of connection and belonging. It is in fact vital.

Artist Statement
Grace Cross (b. Harare, Zimbabwe 1988) is a material painter who draws symbols about motherhood, home, belief structures, and land; making shipting recipe's rooted in feminism, history, performative archaeology and African cosmology, to reflect her experiences of cultural transmission. Her painting practice, since the birth of her daughter, focuses on female storytelling, spirituality, and mining symbols of motherhood in her lush and colourfilled canvases. Her paintings seek to represent a cosmological world, where paint weaves images together to work as spells or incantations. The painded symbols thread ideas together, daming and mending, compositionally sewing the symbolic into the real, tethering the objects to one another. She traces a history of laboring women, their bloodline, their red thread of fate, through her paintings - <em>placenta red, metnrual red, nipple-suked-raw red. </em>This is the tie that binds - an umbilical cord - the maternal line. The thread is fine buth strong; it will not come undone; even as it unspools, running from the distant past to the present, from one canvas to another.

About
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WHAT: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Birth Justice Podcast NYC takes a close, comprehensive and creative look at how folks in New York City experience and navigate reproductive oppression and create resilience strategies for their health and their families. Through storytelling and conversations, BJP NYC provides a space for dialogue and debate addressing one of New York City’s most pressing public health and racial justice issues: birth. Hosted by Taja Lindley, podcast episodes feature one-on-one long form interviews and conversations with advocates, organizers, historians, scholars, healers, birth workers, pregnant and parenting people, and folks of reproductive age.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first episode dropped Wednesday July 8th and featureds an interview between the host, Taja Lindley, and her mother, Adrianne Robinson, where they discussed Robinson’s experience giving birth to Lindley in 1985. This was a special occasion because the release date is also Lindley’s birthday.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WHY:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the United States, Black women are three to four times more likely to die due to pregnancy related causes than white women. But in New York City, Black women are eight times more likely to die than white women. This is twice the national average. And during this pandemic moment, matters of public health are brought into focus, including long standing health inequities like maternal health. For example,when COVID first hit, NYC hospitals barred visitors during childbirth, leaving many people to labor alone. In response, Governor Cuomo issued an executive order allowing laboring people to have one support person during their childbirth. A few weeks after it was issued, however, Amber Rose Isaac - a 26-year-old pregnant Black woman - died after giving birth in a Bronx hospital. </span></p>

Artist Statement
Using film based photography, and alternative photographic processes I explore my identity, familial relationships and caretaking of my 20 month old daughter. My most recent completed body of work, A Physical Memory is a collection of 365 polaroid images taken in 2018 capturing an intimate look into my daily life from family, snapshots, pregnancy, and new motherhood. In the spring of 2020 I began a self guided artist residency, using my daughter as an inspiration rather than obstacle in my art practice. Creating cyanotype prints of the toys she leaves on the floor.

Artist Statement
My practice is propelled by an interest in the varied experiences of girls and women, and the limited ways in which they are represented within image making. Through a Feminist lens, I work with constructed narratives that are inspired by the quiet moments in girls and women’s lives where seemingly nothing (and everything) occurs. I am especially interested in the complex emotions that underlie these mundane points in time. Themes of vulnerability, transformation, and discovery are explored in my image making through the use of touch, gesture, and the gaze as I observe conscious and unconscious modes of communication. Over the past decade, my art practice has focused on the early stages of motherhood and pregnancy as I navigated this new terrain in my personal life. My current series, ‘Caesura’, developed out of my observations of the struggle my daughters grapple with as they find a balance between their dependence on me and their growing independence. This series re-constructs and intertwines various remembrances, making visual the experience of seeing myself reflected in my daughters’ gestures and actions. At the forefront of this project is the need to make space for my ever-changing outlook of being a mother and an artist.

Artist Statement
<span> I use distorted and erratic renditions of drawing and fiber techniques such as crocheting, weaving, and wrapping to build sculptural installations varying in size. My process begins when I encounter fabrics that are sourced from family and friends. The tactile experience of touching the fabrics can lead to an intimate, thoughtful meditation when I ponder the history of a garment. Who wore or used this? Where were they going or what were they doing when they used it? I may cut the fabric into long continuous thread, draw onto it, or sew it into a wearable sculpture. Dense forms and linear elements take shape as I let the qualities of the materials guide me. The improvisational aspect of my practice allows unpredictability to prosper.</span><br /><br /><span>Inspired by my own experience of entering motherhood, I want to show the power of the mother’s body and how she influences the infant physically as well as emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Sometimes my work takes shape as figurative drawings of the nursing relationship I have with my daughter. I incorporate repetitive text into the drawings that speak to the ever-changing mental space of becoming a mother—the anxiety and worry, the joy and gratitude. Other times my work becomes sculptural, utilizing the curvealinear forms found in nature and women’s bodies. Looking at nature’s processes of decay, entropy, rupture, and unraveling, I find an ever-increasing affinity to my body. Becoming a mother has begun to transform the art I make as I see the kinship to nature more clearly. I want viewers to reconnect with their own vulnerability as well as their strength, as motherhood has required I do so in a more profound way. Within this state of vulnerability and power, I believe we can access the sensitivity that will facilitate our collective empathy.</span>

Artist Statement
In the fall of 2018, I kept track of what I was doing all day long in a spreadsheet. Each activity I<br />assigned to one of half a dozen different categories, including child care, housework, art<br />practice, and sleep. I picked one week of that time period and during the course of my artist<br />residency at the Women’s Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles, turned it into Timesheet:<br />November 4–10, 2018, a work comprising seven weavings, one representing each day of that<br />week. I wove it during weekly studio hours, on my floor loom that I moved into the space for the<br />exhibition. By giving these ephemeral activities form through my weaving, I have created an<br />analog data visualization of invisible and undervalued domestic labor and transformed it into an<br />artwork with monetary and cultural value.

Artist Statement
As an artist, conversationalist, mover, and archivist, I use video, sound as well as<br />unconventional and overlooked materials like words, time, relationships and movement as<br />components to create. My work revolves around acknowledging the body as simultaneous site<br />of production, care and labor.<br /><br /><br />While the body of the mother is still only barely tolerated within the contemporary art world, I<br />want to replace this isolation with the idea of sharing community in times of personal struggle.<br />By using "physicality as production" as a methodological principle my work provides glimpses<br />into the maze of enigmas - time precarity, gender roles within the arts, labor relations and the<br />body as a multifaceted vehicle - that I am trying to find a way through and that allows others to<br />share my questions and ask questions with me.<br /><br />Laying bare my experience in the strange, cozy, blurred zone of not being just one, but also not<br />being two the work aims to mirror and encourage an intimate approach to the interdependence<br />of minds and bodies. Embedded in curiosity, open-endedness and exposedness, I very much<br />believe in vulnerability and in art as a means of assemblage and survival in precarious times.<br />Seeing myself and my work as spinning a subtle thread of positive contamination, I want to think<br />of my practice as fostering a constellation in which art is a direct tribute to the spirit of sharing<br />and connection between communities.

Artist Statement
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am a contemporary painter living and working in rural New Hampshire, where I live with my husband and two sons. As a child and an adult, I have lived on all three coasts and in between, and traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Now I live in a small New England town. Much of the reason that I live where I live, see what I see, and think about what I think about, is because I am a parent. Being a parent has influenced my work by influencing the choices I have made about where and how to live. These choices, in turn, present different roads for my artwork and for my professional career as an artist than would be the case if I did not have children. Many of my artist colleagues are also artist-mothers whose situations are similar to my own. We are finding ways to work together to create opportunities for ourselves well outside of the usual “art world” venues. </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Painting is an essential part of who I am, and I have continued to develop my work, exhibit, and sell whenever possible. I began painting in oils in college and continued until my first pregnancy, when I switched to acrylics. This was the first example of the many times that parenthood and art needed to find new ways to coexist in my life! </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a parent, I am always doing more than one thing at a time, and as an artist, I see no reason to limit myself to only one style or way of working. Most of my work is not explicitly on the subject of parenthood or reproduction. But it shows up again and again in different ways and in different series. Sometimes it’s visceral—like </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lupa</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a wolf with two babies. The painting is on loose canvas, nailed to the wall, with slashes from her claws. Sometimes it’s joyous and chaotic—like </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strong Nuclear Force</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a dancing woman with four legs and a baby under each arm. Some are mysterious—like </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inside, Mothers Are Dancing, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">which hints at the nature of mothers together. Some are more remote—even elegiac, like </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Minivan Series.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s always been important to me as a parent to set an example for my boys of what women really are—separate individuals with their own lives, their own work, their own dreams, their own futures—not just the mothers who take care of them. At the same time, raising my children is all-consuming and wonderful. As my boys grow up, what they need from me grows and changes. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that reflected in my work. </span></p>

Curatorial Statement
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Artists who are mothers see the world in a distinct and complex way. “Mommy eyes” see close and far, beauty and danger, past and future. Mothers are attuned to the possibilities of known and unknown, joy experienced and lost, a future both exciting and frightening. The view of the mother-artist is a valuable perspective on the world that is often dismissed as mothers in our society are sentimentalized but not truly respected.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Motherhood is a profoundly feminist subject. It is because of the physical nature of preparing for, carrying, bearing, and raising children that women are, even today, frequently excluded from many types of roles (excluded by both men and other women). Women in both the business and art worlds are often told to downplay their role as mothers, so that those in power won’t have that excuse to doubt not only their abilities and intelligence, but their commitment and dedication. Since the beginning of the women’s movement, women who intended to be both artists and mothers were marginalized within the movement, finding the need to be feminists within feminism. Thirty years later, mother-artists are still facing this prejudice, especially within the art world itself. This is the background against which I began thinking of this exhibition. </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">MOMMA presents the work of four artist-mothers, each of whom addresses aspects of motherhood in her work. </span><b>Laura Morrison</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s sculptural yarn work responds to the generative properties of nature, while her delicate assemblages are ruminations about family and connections between people. In </span><b>Patricia Schappler</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s drawings and paintings, she creates closely observed life-size and more-than-life-size portraits of her children over time, individually and as a family. In her paintings, prints, and quilts, </span><b>Annette Mitchell</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> looks at motherhood from inside and outside, as a mother and grandmother, but also as a daughter. I (</span><b>Marcia Santore</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">) began this exhibition with paintings about the swirling, chaotic, and animal nature of motherhood, but that MOMMA sparked an entirely new group of work, The Minivan Series. </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">MOMMA is not a motherhood manifesto. It is not about advocating motherhood for all women or defining women as mothers first and anything else second. It is not about the “right” way to mother. And it is most definitely not intended to diminish women who don’t have children, whether by choice or not. It’s about showing something important about a group of people who make art based on the conditions of their lives—how being mothers affects the work we do as artists. We are who we are and where we are in large part because of our roles as mothers. How we see the world, what we notice, what we make art about, is strongly affected by our roles as mothers and provides a point of view that is often overlooked.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This year, the Women’s Caucus for Art national conference included a panel discussion on artists and motherhood. In conjunction with the MOMMA exhibition, the Silver Center for the Arts will screen </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Who Does She Think She Is?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a documentary about artist-mothers. It’s exciting to me to realize that these ideas about motherhood, making art, and marginalization that I’ve been considering for years are being thought about and talked about nationally at the same time that MOMMA is coming together.</span></p>

Artist Statement
Troy was born in rural Kansas in 1975 and currently lives in Lawrence, Kansas. His work and research explores the delicate balance of family, fatherhood and the outcome of the family photo album. Motivated by intellectual and psychological inquiry of these intimate topics, Troy photographs his own family as a means of understanding the emotional qualities that come along with fatherhood. It has become his means of understanding while creating an honest interpretation of the idealized family album. He received his BFA from the Academy of Art University in 2015 and his MFA in 2019. His work has been seen in Black and White Magazine, Lenscratch, Feature Shoot, Plates to Pixels, The Photo Review, Fraction Magazine, Der Greif and FotoRoom.

Artist Statement
As a contemporary artist, I create based on visuals concepts of the imagination and real life. Including abstract techniques in my portraits and other pieces, allows room for the audience to connect to each body of work and identify themselves somewhere in the storyline. Uniquely I chose to opt out of outlining as done in my previous works, and focused on using bold color choices. My art represents my story, but I know it’s a story many know well. <br /><br />In my Mother and Son series, I hope to reflect the honesty and beauty of motherhood, the ugly too. It’s far from perfect for any parent. No matter what walk of life you come from, this series is personal, it’s transgenerational, it’s ours. Mother and Son is a reminder that I’m not alone in this everchanging journey and makes light of precious fleeting moments along the way.

Artist Statement
<p class="p1">I’ve been a working artist, curator, community activist and teacher for more than 25 years, creating and producing intimate solo performances, large-scale public happenings, socially engaged interventions and performance art workshops and lectures. My practice extends across black boxes and white cubes, art fairs and subway stations, international festivals, and single bathroom stalls. I’ve operated an artist-run newsstand in a vacant subway station kiosk, a soup kitchen for artists, a breast milk tasting bar, and a performance festival hub for kids. I’m forever inspired by the rebel queers, renegade witches, and other dyke moms I run with, and bound to many brilliant artists, activists, spell-casters and healers. <span class="s1">For many years I made performances that drew from my own experiences of trauma and transformation, intimacy and motherhood. More recently, I’ve experienced a shift in my practice, where my attention has turned to wider theoretical questions about the nature of performance itself to </span>ask questions about when, where, how we perform - in theatres and galleries, on social media, and in our everyday lives.</p>

Artist Statement
Haikus for Peace Time is a home-made book produced by Faye Lim and Ng Xi Jie / Salty Thunder. The book is intended to be a poetic amulet and blessing for a baby born in the week of three aviation disasters. Featuring cats, diapers, Robin Williams and boob popsicles, the haikus and the illustrations pack months of whimsy, doubt, eager parenting and hope into a few pages stitched together on Xi Jie’s grandmother’s sewing machine. Faye wrote the twelve haikus in one sitting while watching over her baby as he slept. It is worth noting that the more people who read the book, the more blessings for them and the baby.

Artist Statement
<p class="p1">I am fascinated by transformation processes.</p>
<p class="p1">I observe transforming spaces, economy, environment, cities, work, cells, bodies, knowledge, history, countries, roles, education, technology, relationships, selves, languages.</p>
<p class="p1">Becoming and being a mother is for me all about transformation. My first solo exhibition in the Zepter Gallery in Belgrade, Serbia was called Metamorphosis<span class="s1"> . </span>The objects I made used banal everyday objects (plastic bags) and transformed them into an immense vagina or into umbilical cords falling from the ceiling. This story from 1999 was a intimate story of separating oneself from the primary family and a story about the everyday and the environment.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">From 2006 to 2012 my partner and I went through a series of unsuccessful IVFs and several miscarriages. I did several sculptural works that documented this part of our lives - like the Womb exhibited in 2010 in Museum de Ceramica de l’Alcora, Spain. It was just about the pain, I guess.</p>
<p class="p1">In 2012, I was invited to make an urban intervention inside the Vesel Garden in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I was three months pregnant with my son and did not know what to expect about the occurring pregnancy. So I did an urban intervention with a participative performance and called this work Embryo garden. It was all about the thin line between life and death of the child to be, but also of the artistic child within myself.</p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s2">My experience as a parent has been both challenging and inspiring for me as an artist. I explored the relationship between the roles of artist and parent in my 2016 exhibition in the Glass Atrium of the City Hall of Ljubljana, called A Thank You Note To the Cleaning Lady. The work that lent its name to the exhibition questions the relation between reproductive, maintenance work and having greater purpose in life. As a whole, </span>the exhibition was born as a product of broken antagonism between being a parent and an artist and of cooperation between the two roles. The installation To Include Everything, Everything, Everything, Absolutely, Absolutely, Everything especially focused on that. And the work The Map is about the child experiencing and learning by himself, and the artist-mother just observing and taking notes. In this process, I sometimes feel as if steeling from him.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

Artist Statement
<p> I’ve spent the last decade exploring the world of domestic life and family systems. Although I started as a painter, describing the chaotic and contradictory world of parenting seemed to require a multi-layered, eclectic approach, and I have expanded my practice to include collage, installation and photography. Recently, I’ve been drawn into the digital worlds my children inhabit so readily (in part because the subject of ‘screen’ causes so much debate and anxiety in the cultural discourse) and the imagery I’ve found there has been surprisingly inspiring and oddly familiar. One game had a pixelated, modular landscape—touched with moments of surprising, naturalistic beauty—that became an excellent metaphor for my domestic world. I use this imagery layered with realism, as well as a layering of techniques, to develop the idea of parenting and domestic life as a many-layered experience: funny, moving, and labor-intensive.</p>

Curatorial Statement
Super mom or childless? It almost looks as if there were no such thing any longer as motherhood pure and simple, as if all that is left is the choice between perfectionism and resignation. Nevertheless, motherhood has many aspects: joy, an intense experience of life, love relationship, learning, exultation, on one hand, and, on the other, frustration, being weighed down by expectations and the fear of being inadequate to the task. Until the 19th century motherhood was never called into question even if in actual reality the rewards often fell woefully short of projected ideals. It was only the advent of career openings for women that created alternatives to motherhood as a fulfilled life. Pregnancy, birth, abortion, life with children, the decision against children, the struggle of children with their mothers – all these themes have their place in art. Nor did we have to wait for 1960s feminist art to produce realistic portrayals of the mother’s role but fi nd renderings of social reality and individual conflicts already as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The exhibition showcases not only shifts in the stereotypes of motherhood from 1900 to today but also the changes in the perspective from which children see their mothers. It calls into question the optimisation logic of today’s life designs and nurtures the hope of change: an ever greater number of women with children opt out of the complex, often stressful regime of everyday life, refusing to accept their life world between career, children and consumption as preordained or God-given.

Artist Statement
I have created artwork for over thirty years that explores mothering from a social, cultural, and emotional point-of-view. I use my family (and myself) as typical representatives of quotidian, middle-class, American family life. I draw on my experiences to create art that puts this into a social, cultural, and emotional context. In my early artwork, the act of mothering is overt, as I try to instill my values in my sons. As they grow older, that becomes harder as they engage in typical challenging behavior. The artwork reflects changing family dynamics. Through gentle humor and without didacticism, I examine inconsistencies, faults, and problematic behavior as reflected in family life.

Artist Statement
The Wild & Precious works bring together treasures from a series of road trips traveled over 5 years by photographer Jesse Burke and his daughter Clover to explore the natural world. To encourage a connection between his child and nature, Burke used these adventures to give her an education that he considers essential—one that develops appreciation, respect, conservation, and self-confidence. Together this father-and-daughter team studied beaches, land, sky, and animals. While on the road, they documented the routes they drove, the landscapes they discovered, the creatures they encountered, even the roadside motels where they slept. This book is as much about love and parenting as it is a hands-on training manual of new age environmentalism. Wild & Precious reveals the fragile, complicated relationship that humans share with nature and serves as a call to arms for parents and children everywhere: Get outside! Bookended by poetic letters the two wrote to one another, Wild & Precious is a modern-day love story between parent and child, natural world and society. Burke writes, “I want my children to genuinely understand how magical the world we inhabit is and how we, as humans, are an integral part of the system. I want them to feel a deep connection to every aspect of their surroundings."

Artist Statement
I engage the public in their discovery of the experience of dancing. This practice has led me to develop tools for hospitality in performance and in the performing body. I seek to install dance ideas in theatres or public spaces in such a way that both public and performers will be invited in. Play is central to my practice in its power to re-shape reality. In my work, professionals and non-professional, young and old alike are capable, make choices and solve problems, lead and follow, create and collaborate. I make dances with and for parents/caregivers and babies/toddlers/children. I facilitate groups of youth, adults and elders to find their unknown dances as collectives and as individuals. My creative processes are sometimes held in theatres and often in public spaces because they hold our collective experiences/stories and affect how we move, behave and think. My goal is to create and produce contemporary choreographic works. To collaborate, exchange creative tools and to articulate new ideas between peers and mentors is integral to my creative process. I choose an esthetic of encounter and dialogue between dance and music over the practice juxtaposition of the two art forms. Video, photo and writing documentation are present throughout the creative process and inform its development or exist as a stand alone artistic output. Movement making is the result of problem solving with the collaboration of dancers. I seek learning opportunities with local mentors such as Karen Jamieson for deeper embodiment in the facilitation of my work in professional or nonprofessional contexts. I travel to the United States to study Ensemble Thinking with Nina Martin, a set of dynamic composition tools. As I become more aware, I stand against artistic and cultural appropriation and carry the knowledge and ideas with respect for peers, artistic mentors and ancestors.

Artist Statement
The 3 screen high definition video installation ‘living room’, captures the banality of the domestic scene and contrasts this with the performance that the children create with in it. The living room is perhaps their stage – a place for them to try out ideas and show off. But also a multifunctional space for them to play, work, argue, relax and so on. It is a rather claustrophobic and chaotic piece that reflects the dominance that the kids have in the family living room during the holiday period. "As a mother and woman artist, I have been interested in my son’s games, words, songs and drawings and have made other work around these themes. Recently my daughter is becoming part of this work. The dialogue I have with my kids about the work I make is really important. I continue to ponder the implications of featuring my children in artwork that I might exhibit publicly and want to include them as part of a playful process in it’s development. I hope they regard the resulting images as representing celebration, desire, passionate attachment as well as sometimes showing trouble and tension."

Artist Statement
I develop artwork through dialogue, process based, participatory and collaborative practice. I investigate the way we connect and communicate with others and ultimately how it contributes to the quality of our lives. I am looking at the role of the artist in society and questioning how “useful” the role of art can be when entering into different areas. My work has frequently combined education, research and artistic practice. My visual research consists of screen print, digital images and photography, slides and video experiments. I have been using video in both documentary and performance based formats, combining live action with static projections, improvisation and language. <br /><br />I am currently Artist in Residence in UCD College of Health Sciences where I am the principle investigator on a research team with a midwifery lecturer Dr. Maria Healy (UCD) and midwife, Teresa McCreery based at the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street. Together we are working on the research initiative: An interpretive phenomenological study: Illuminating childbirth experiences of women attending a midwife-led service via visual art works. Insights from this research will highlight women’s lived experiences of childbirth vis visual artworks and academic publications. The final artworks will be included in the UCD Health Sciences Library in book format as an educational tool alongside academic books.

About
Being a parent is pretty challenging. And raising a kid while trying to be an artist/writer/you-name-it can
feel pretty overwhelming– especially when you throw in Boston’s insanely high cost of living.
But we’re creative people. Maybe if we get together and talk and listen, we can find ways to support
each other. Maybe we can focus some of our creative energy on the problems that all parents face, and
find some solutions. Maybe we can make it easier for ourselves in the process, and for other
artist/parents down the road.
“How to be an artist and a parent?” is a series of discussion events and an online forum. It’s set up by
Greg Cook and Tim Devin, but is inspired by some initiatives in other cities. Things like Cultural
Reproducers in Chicago, and Invisible Spaces of Parenthood in London.
