La maternité est un thème qui se trouve au cœur de la vie, mais qui a pourtant longtemps été relégué à la sphère privée, hanté par des clichés, des stigmates et des mythes. Elle a toujours été considérée comme triviale, indigne d’être un véritable sujet artistique. Dans le même temps, les artistes dotées d’un utérus ont souvent dû affronter le cliché selon lequel il leur fallait choisir entre faire de l’art ou avoir un enfant, les deux exigeant tout leur temps et leur énergie.
Mothering Myths déconstruit ces clichés, stigmates et mythes à travers le prisme de l’art, avec une perspective transhistorique et intersectionnelle, tout en adoptant une approche ludique et ouverte à de multiples interprétations. L’exposition dépasse la figure individuelle de la mère pour faire place à la collectivité, à différentes formes de "maternage" et à des questions politiques liées à l’autodétermination. Mothering Myths met en lumière le caractère émancipateur de la mère-artiste, de la femme volontairement sans enfant, de la mère non féminine ou encore de la "mère corbeau", à travers des concepts tels que la parenté, l’éducation révolutionnaire, la conscience utérine et la justice reproductive.
