A reading of work made by mothers at home during the pandemic. These six writers represent a community of mothers nationwide who co-participate in self-directed writing residencies at home, inspired by "Artist Residency in Motherhood" ( ). Each writer will also read the work of another ARIMer including Minna Dubin, Catherine LaSota, Meg Leonard, Sarah McColl, Chloe Yelena Miller, and Kristin Pitanza.
Also visit a new onsite gallery presenting the exhibition "Rooted in Place" by local artist , whose work addresses the icon of the home.
Guest performance of "Black Moon Lilith" by local singer-songwriter Jennie Young.
