The Mothernists is the brain child of Deirdre M Donoughue (m/other Voices) an Lise Haller Baggesen (Mothernism) and combines their two long running projects concerning artistic and academic research into maternal (aest)ethics in an international symposium on care work and intergenerational feminist knowledge-sharing.
THE MOTHERNISTS II: WHO CARES FOR THE 21st CENTURY?
October 12-15th, ANAFORUM presents: ‘The Mothernists II: Who Cares for the 21st Century?’, an international symposium on care work and intergenerational feminist knowledge-sharing held in conjunction with the exhibition ‘Mothernizing ANA: Who Cares for the Future?’ The symposium is co-organized by Lise Haller Baggesen and Deirdre M. Donoghue and is co-hosted by Astrid Noacks Ateliers and the The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
