I'm Not Your Mother at P.P.O.W. Gallery

P·P·O·W presents I’m Not Your Mother, a group exhibition bringing together early landscapes by Carolee Schneemann with contemporary artists whose compositions reject misogynistic and romanticized depictions of nature and grapple honestly with the realities of our natural world today. Including works by Grace Carney, Jasper Francis Cropsey, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Jacci Den Hartog, Brook Hsu, Hortensia Mi Kafchin, Daniel Correa Mejía, Nohemí Pérez, Mira Schor, TARWUK, and Robin F. Williams, I’m Not Your Mother questions how we define motherhood and its damaging consequences for bodies both feminized and ecological.

“But I resist the accolade of “mother”…Mother of anything, with the examples that you and I have of “mother” that’s not a position I want to invite. I prefer art priestess, goddess, whore, snake-swallower, smoke-blower…but “mother” is deprived of self-definition…her energies must go unquestioningly to sustain…what?” (Carolee Scheemann, January 10, 2014)

The exhibition will run from October 28 to December 3, 2022 at 390 Broadway in New York City. Click here to find out more!
