Maternochronics
noun
genre defined by the chronic, durational fatigue of mothering/caregiving
framework that explores an alternate way of experiencing time through the lens of mothering
This Exhibition asks the question: What does maternal exhaustion look/feel like?— as experienced during the ongoing pandemic march 2020-2021. The above term— maternochronics —is offered in an attempt to create space for a conversation about maternal time and the accumulation of stress. Through submissions to this exhibition, artists are welcomed to participate in an active dialogue, encouraged to redefine and contribute to the thinking and naming. Submission is open to all self identifying women and non-binary artists who are mothers/lifelong carers based anywhere in the world.
