mothermother is a project, exhibition and network which evolves as artists invite artists. The project fosters creative connections, providing space for exhibiting artists to make contact with those they admire, who they wish to thank, reach out to, or simply acknowledge. The project taonga is the artists’ invitation to the next artist. This generational process is inspired by storytelling and knowledge sharing in the spirit of our m/others before us. The exhibition aims to activate curatorial practice, challenging normative modes of gallery representation for the benefit of woman artists in Aotearoa.
