Conversation 3: Film and Motherhood 

Sat 16 Oct 2021 12–1:30PM

In this conversation, the complex and various relationships of, engendered by, and toward motherhood will be explored through documentary film and experimental video works selected by local and international artist-filmmaker-mothers. We will consider the roles and challenges of motherhood as explored through the diverse and culturally specific perspectives in a film and video program and as it intersects with being an artist/filmmaker today. A parallel screening of selected works will be available for participants to view in advance of our dialogue with the artist-mother-filmmakers.
