*online* Polymaternalism in Art and Life

In 2020 it might have been easier to imagine the end of capitalism than the end of the family. For about one third of the world's population the lockdown ment to stay the fuck at home, in the privacy of their families, while economic activity, at least for a short period, was reduced to a minimum.

For some, the lockdown emphasized the family as ideal nucleus and home office, for many it revealed its blatant insufficiencies with increasing cases of domestic violence and rising divorce rates. Therefore we will talk about the struggles and rich experiences of Polymaternalism, the actual everyday pracitces of parenting beyond the nuclear family, inspired by ChaoCoop's Mothers of Ultra, currently on display at SYNNIKA.
