J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Karni Arieli
Manage episode 362267434 series 3367479
This book forms a collective reframing of the realities of motherhood beyond the mythologized patriarchal gaze. A global array of photographer mothers document, with bold authenticity, the carrying and caring of a human—the feral and relentless shared space of heart-exploding wonder and joy—all seen and shared through the eyes of those who experience it.
In this conversation, Karni discusses, among other things:
Photographer mothers using the camera to document their reality
Confronting the monumental occupation that is motherhood
Managing the duality of identities as a mother/artist
The politicization of the personal
The synergy of interconnectivity and the strength of collaboration
Forming a visibility chain
Flipping the narratives
Righting misconceptions
Managing expectations
Love and sisterhood
Not endorsing motherhood, but endorsing the choice
