Writing a talk for @Penn and stumbled across this old slide and it made me feel happy to be working for a DAO & experiencing what is, I hope, the beginning of a shift away from traditional org structures/funding models
Had the pleasure of speaking to @wonderinganimal about the highs and lows of motherhood, reproductive rights, and why artificial wombs are maybe not the radical re-imagination of pregnancy we need. Catch her show “Ecologies of Care” in NYC! news.artnet.com/art-world/an…
Truly, I learned a lot about the realities of carrying and caring for children while writing this. It’s a very timely and necessary show. Def a must see if you’re in NYC!
“I wanted to show that we don’t actually need artificial wombs, we really need better policies.” Media Lab alum @wonderinganimal talks to @artnet about her solo show, “Ecologies of Care," on view at @aai_nyc through July 30. news.artnet.com/art-world/an…
In visualizing her experience as a new mother, @wonderinganimal helps remove the shroud of mystery around the postpartum period while questioning societal expectations for caretaking. artnews.com/art-in-america/a…

The art I made in my basement and kitchen skink during those hazy, leaky postpartum days found it's way into @ArtinAmerica ! I hope to see more doors opening for candid conversations about motherhood and care work, within the art world and beyond. artnews.com/art-in-america/a…
"In 2022, it’s depressing that this labor remains so invisible to so many that Liu’s work has such an impact by ‘exposing’ it. This eloquent show feels as if it’s part of a broader effort to force the realities of caregiving into public consciousness." @HelenaHaimes
"We live in a societal myth that one’s work, through its economic value, is how a person’s worth is measured." —Ani Liu
@wonderinganimal speaks with Hallie NcNeill on her current exhibition and the intersection of science, art, and motherhood.
