The PAMAs / Pregnant Artists Making Art
A gathering for people who birth
The MAMAs/PAMAs offers a safe gathering space for mother artists and people who birth to explore the intersectionality of the mother-artist identity. We provide peer support, mindful connection, artistic inspiration and creative provocation connection to others engaged in this inquiry via their being + work in the world.
 
The MAMAs/PAMAs uses the word mother as an inclusive, liberatory term. We welcome all who identify with the word mother, embracing its potential for multiplicity (biological, adoptive, foster), value-overlap (Baba, caregiver, parent) and centrality (identity, purpose, calling).
 
We reclaim the words Mother and Artist as identities that occupy shared space, and when liberated or claimed can thrive in a symbiotic, intersectional flourishing.
 
We aim to construct conversations, convenings and making-spaces within the public and private realm that celebrate this overlap as a vibrant creative boon, a necessary and essential human understanding/undertaking, well-established in the past and present and consciously building the future.
 
We believe that motherhood shall be sacred and visible.
 
We embrace artists working in all forms/disciplines, professionally and/or passionately.

The MAMAs / PAMAs is an initiative in partnership with the Parent Artist Advocacy League (PAAL).

This six-week program for existing or expecting mothers facilitates peer support, mindful connection, artistic inspiration and creative provocation. All disciplines welcome! Professional and/or passionate!

The MAMAs/PAMAs program is anticipated to run approximately three sessions annually, via Zoom.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out this brief General Inquiry JotForm.


The MAMAs / PAMAs is a shared initiative via the Parent Artist Advocacy League (www.paaltheatre.org) and The Institute for Collaboration and Play (www.ifcap.org). Together we endeavor to restore creativity and play into the context of pregnant bodies and motherhood.

Both PAAL and IFCAP welcome all caregiving responsibilities and realities in the background or foreground of any meetings, phone calls, and exchanges and embrace your life in our pursuit of productive and supportive practices.

PAAL and IFCAP are transgender and non-binary affirming spaces.  We support a safe space for everyone's experience of pregnancy, birth and beyond. Our programs are designed for anyone going through the huge changes we experience as artist-parents, whether that's as someone who identifies as a mother or birthing person, including cis-, Trans and gender non-conforming parents and caregivers.

 PAAL and IFCAP commit to anti-racist roots in our structures, practices, policies, principles, and producing.
