Issue 45:3 | Warltati / Summer 2025 | The Mother Issue

Guest edited by Belinda Howden

Despite its art historical invisibility, parenthood is an evergreen subject for artists — mothers especially. The Mother Issue illuminates parenting as a generative force set with enduring challenges. Drawing together case studies, curatorial initiatives and subjective accounts from Australia and Aotearoa / New Zealand, writers investigate the myriad ways mother-artists conceptualise and deliver creative work against a backdrop of technological and generational change.
