What do you think of when you hear the word ‘mother’? This question has occupied the minds of 11 artists from around the country, who have been brought together to critically discuss an inclusive interpretation of motherhood, mothering and maternal roles.
CURRENTS:ABORTION
In this turbulent moment in history, abortion remains a signifier of people’s ownership over their bodies, being as urgent a subject as any of the issues that now consume us.
Screw Up
‘Screw Up’ is about the regulation and resulting judgment placed on the female body. The trauma this causes, the scars it can leave and the resilience needed to continue.
Frustrated Performance/ Frustrated Body
This is an attempt to conform to a standard and found lacking. A performance evolved to control a body which only undermines the regulation. Layering the frustration, the performance never ends, the body fails to deliver and they never meet in the middle.
Role. Play
All in different stages of their careers, Lynn, Walker and Sklenars’ individual practices deal with contemporary trajectories relevant to the female experience. Collectively, they speak to a wider social conscience, responsibility, and identity within New Zealand society.
