This group of Vancouver-based artist mothers will be presenting a unique collective and heterogeneous artist talk on motherhood and art practice and the intersections between reproductive and artistic labour. The panel discussion, in the form of an informal dialogue, will elaborate a utopian model for a feminist, women-centred, sustainable creation process that integrates life and all of its chaos into a viable and valued way of being and creating without being marginalized by and excluded from the male-dominated art system.

Facilitated by Renae Morriseau: Actor and Indigenous Storyteller-in-Residence at the Vancouver Public Library.
