Module 1 'Self, Motherhood and Art Making' comprises of four workshops that facilitate an intimate space of conversations between artist-mothers searching for affinities in their experiences of motherhood and art practice. It encourages looking with other (m)others as a coterminous act, and a method to make possible anecdotal enquiries and sharing.

During the sessions, participants may talk about lived experiences of mothering, and share stories of navigating choices, priorities and challenges in maternal performance, studio practice and supporting the self while multitasking responsibilities. Through different exercises, each consecutive workshop will prompt and create safe space to narrate and develop conversations and imaginaries of the past, present and futures, through audio, visual and performative modes of storytelling and exchange.

As an extension of AMMAA, the project seeks to foreground and map the shared emotional and biological affinities of mothers/caregivers/parents who are also practicing artists or return intermittently to practice, beyond their sociocultural and generational identities.

The artist project, conceived with and for KNMA, consists of three modules and seeks to create a common ground and a community of artist-mothers, artist-parents, and artist-caregivers.
