Monuments to Motherhood

By: Molly Gochman
  • Summary

  • 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.

    Our inherited monumental landscape in the United States is bleak. Molly speaks to two people changing that: Paul Farber, the executive director of the Philly-based Monument Lab, which is helping birth a new generation of monuments across the country, and Michelle Browder, an artist and activist whose work includes a sculpture honoring the sacrifice of the enslaved women experimented upon by the so-called “Father of Gynecology,” J. Marion Sims.
