MUTTER*SEIN

What it's all about

Motherhood is a boundary-breaking experience: physically and emotionally. Invisible care work, thinking and feeling in exchange for little social recognition. What stories do women* experience with regard to experience with regard to motherhood and the associated projections?

That's why you have to come 

MUTTERSEIN brings together the polyphonic experiences of women* and gives space to their stories and diverse realities. The result is a collection of things and stories that takes the everyday seriously. The exhibition is opened by a choir that observes and comments on motherhood in our society and itself becomes a collection of attributions, observations and experiences - sometimes tenderly, sometimes wickedly and with necessary humour.

Pssst!
