I was honored to participate in an Artist Panel and breakout discussions called Mothering + Creativity at MOCA Tucson. The panel included myself, Fay Ray, Amber Doe, Anh Thuy Nguyen, Liz Cohen and was moderated by Natalie Brewster Nguyen. It was a powerful group of Artists!
The Convening happened because of the hard work of Deputy Director, Co-Chief Curator and Mother Laura Copelin, Curator Alexis Wilkinson and the dedicated staff. It was amazing to see such a big turn-out, to see the desire for programming related to parenting + art. It was beautiful to see who in our community resonates with these acts of mothering and creating and to hear their specific experiences, both the good and the challenging. MOCA Tucson so generously provided childcare during the event…childcare at a contemporary art museum! Exo Coffee, La Estrella Bakery and others in our community generously provided food and coffee for everyone!
Thank you to all of the mothers and supporters who participated. Thank you for listening and for sharing food and stories. It was great to really see you.
