“Mothering Myths” unravels the cliches, stigmas, and myths behind motherhood through the lens of art, using a transhistorical and intersectional perspective. It breaks with convention to make space for collectivity, different forms of mothering, and political questions around self-determination. The book presents the emancipatory nature of the artist-mother, the voluntarily childless woman, the non-female mother, and the raven mother. Its release is parallel with exhibitions at the Centraal Museum Utrecht and Nest Art Space in the Hague.
