I took a break today from my gluing marathon (part of an interactive sculpture that we’re creating for the upcoming show) to be interviewed about Greetings From Motherland on Madison’s WORT 89.9 along with Ann Imig, who is producing this weekend’s Listen To Your Mother, and Alison Dodge, one of the owners of Happy Bambino. My first press for the project, which felt great! As I’m already known as a fast talker, I avoided the coffee offered to me before the show and tried to slow down as we discussed Mother’s Day, community, and how important having support is when you’re a caregiver. The amount of support you have is a big factor in how hard or soft your landing is in Motherland, no question about it.
Here’s the link to listen to the podcast of the show.

Your project is amazing, Mindy. I loved listening to you speak about it yesterday. So cool that our projects crossed paths. It’s been a pleasure meeting you.
I can’t wait to listen — I was at work when it aired.
I love that you and Ann were on together — that these events are happening so close together. Someone mentioned to me in regards to these two shows that it feels like some momentum is building up around mother-art. It will be interesting to see what happens with this energy.
(I’m getting so excited for our show, Mindy!)
