Afternoon Reading: On Motherhood
Join us for a cozy, in-person afternoon of readings that explore the joys, complexities, and lived stories of motherhood. Featuring readings by Nicole Haroutunian, Pichchenda Bao, Aida Zilelian, Isabela Scheufler, Allegra Parks, and Shushanik Karapetyan, this gathering invites listeners into moments that are tender, honest, and deeply human.
This event is organized in tandem with the exhibition "Becoming a Mother," by artist and psychotherapist Shushanik Karapetyan. This community-centered art exhibition explores women’s health, pregnancy, and motherhood through a combination of semi-abstract paintings and intimate, anonymous interviews. These interviews aim to spark dialogue and broaden public understanding of women’s experiences. This project seeks to center the mother figure: her experiences, her needs, her struggles, and ultimately, her celebration. The goal is for mothers to connect with each other and for those in their support networks to gain deeper insight into how they can show up more meaningfully.
This project is made possible (in part) with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.
