Events for April 20, 2025 - April 20, 2025

M|otherworlds is a group exhibition featuring regional Arizona artists who are also mothers. The work in the show centers on the transitional space of new parenthood during the first years of postpartum, also referred to as matrescence, or mother-becoming. The notion of transformation is echoed in the title of the exhibition. M|otherworlds references a surreal and unfamiliar experience. M|otherworlds is also about creation, the creation of a new reality, the creation of a new self. Themes of identity, caretaking and imaginative world building weave throughout the works in this exhibition.
