Monuments to Motherhood
Monuments to Motherhood is a salon-style podcast series exploring the interconnected themes of motherhood, caregiving, artmaking, and monumentalization. Serving as a companion to artist Molly Gochman’s large-scale installation pieces of the same name, the podcast uses the sculpture series as a springboard for exploration. Much like the work, which celebrates the enduring support of caregivers across generations, host Molly Gochman expands our understanding of intimacy, care, play, and community through conversations with artists, activists, and caregivers.
