- Places & Travel
A conversation with artist, educator, and cultural worker Anna Adler exploring the idea of the body as home through the lens of mothering - inspired in part by Erin's own experience of pregnancy and the idea of literally providing shelter for another being. The catalyst for this first conversation, originally recorded in May 2020, was a group exhibition Anna curated titled (s)mother at Bethany Arts Community in Ossining, New York. The second iteration of that show is happening again this year, opening on May 8 and on view through May 29, 2021. This is the first in a series of related conversations to be published as an extension of the exhibition.
Ultimately, the conversation with Anna and those that will follow consider a broader exploration of what it means to mother and what it means to take care in a time of crisis. In this episode, Anna shares her own struggle with post-partum depression and curating/creating as a means of catharsis. Featuring original music by Char McCutcheon, who you’ll be hearing more from in an upcoming episode.
