Each of us has our unique understanding of the word mother. Children are raised by their birth mothers - or sometimes not at all. Some have mothers who adopted them or grow up in foster care. Some have grandmothers, aunts, big sisters, or family friends raising us. Sometimes there is no mother but a male figure who mothers. For some mother is a distant concept: a memory, a hope, an unmet need. For some, nature is the most powerful definition of mother. Artists who broadly work with concepts including caregiving, nature, birth, re-birth, new mothers, mothers who lost their children, mourning mothers, childless mothers, surrogate mothers, birth mothers, foster care, or adoption are encouraged to apply.
