“Challenging the nuclear family is not about puritanical rejection of anything that resembles it; it is about creating alternatives to its hegemony, to the dismembering of social relations.”
–Carla Bergman and Nick Montgomery, quoted by Sophie K. Rosa in her book Radical Intimacy

In a new partnership with Kaaitheater (Brussels), we are expanding the Open Research programme with a curated series of talks, workshops and performances exploring mothering, family, and care beyond the norm.

This artistic research programme offers multiple entry points, ranging from playful speculative thinking to the creation of new scenarios for (chosen) family dynamics. It shares imaginative strategies for combining (co-)parenting with artistic practice, while also challenging and unmasking idealized notions of motherhood.

How To Be Many Mothers? compliments our Spring programme, responding to shared themes in Second Trimester (14–25 Apr) and Monica (1–2 May). You can follow the programme in full, or join us for the moments that resonate most with you.
