So. My first time at anything like this. Super awesome. Yay panels and conversations and selfies with awesome women. Um, yes, way too white and bougie. Duh, it's still "the academy". The M Word and motherhood and/in art: I hope next time it will parenthood. As with my feelings and activism around sexual assault, everyone needs to be a part of the conversation, and class and race and intersectionality is all a part if it. I wish we didn't have the same issues as 20 years ago, but we do. Slow, small changes. Can't begin to describe how I feel- overwhelmed and exhausted in an awesomely delighted way. So much joy and anger and love and curiosity, and some drops of bitchiness to warm it up. Maternal fashion in Napoleon's time? Check. Life as art? Check. The nonmaternal body as threat? Check? Responding to feminist text from 20 years ago? Check. Honoring those who paved the way? Check. Inter generationalisms? Check. Talk of communes, capitolisms, the rotten pie, fisting, breast feeding, shit, adoption, the hidden mother, representations if mother, mothering the mother, the dead mother, making sight line spaces in galleries so you don't have to chase after kids? Check, check, yes, yes and SO MUCH more. Love. More. Thank you all. Sleep.
