Since 2021, M(Other)Hood has attempted to build expansive forms of solidarity using the notion of Hood, using Knitting Meshwork as a choreographic principle to create various presentations. It delves into the relationship between Motherhood and the external world. This approach embraces direct engagement with the notion that Mother(s) or Motherhood is not solely a subject of study but an active participant in broadening perspectives. It contributes to a deeper societal understanding of how various practices and interpretations of Mothering can influence cultural narratives, shape policy considerations, and affect societal attitudes towards Mothers and Motherhood. The term “Mothers” is used expansively here, encompassing not only those who give birth or identify as women, but anyone who undertakes the role of Mothering and is impacted by it.
This year, Serendipity Arts Festival is hosting M(Other)Hood. We will develop a performance entitled “Uncollected Collective Lectures – 2024” – a collaborative narrative performance exploring experimental ways of navigating autobiography, history, and herstory, and their story.
We are seeking 3 Indian collaborators to join the project, each using their personal experience and contexts to develop a performative lecture.
