Abstract
In this paper, I briefly assess my experience as an intern at MaMSIE in 2014/15, and how it inspired me, and I summarise the main focus of my – soon to be submitted – thesis, which is an attempt to conceptualise motherhood in a collective, relational way. I follow the thread that is the story of my thesis, partially inspired by the relationship with my mother, by broadly tracing some of the themes of its chapters. I discuss how I have been influenced by Adriana’s Cavarero’s work and her reading of Hannah Arendt, and by Italian feminist groups from the 1970s and 1980s, especially a 1970s Roman mothers’ collective. I go on to explore the work I did in 2016 with Berlin-based artist Alex Martinis Roe using a thick, colourful thread to represent motherhood in a collective, relational way.
