Having It All; The Politics of Parenthood

A Durational Performance by Emma Jaster

November 14, 2024 | 12:00–2:00 PM

Spagnuolo Gallery

Presented in partnership with the Laboratory for Global Performance & Politics at Georgetown University, in conjunction with Alex McQuilkin: That Hand-Touch Sensibility

 

Meet Emma Jaster, a freshly postpartum mother, accompanied by her newborn child, as she uses song, dance, stories, and open discussions with the audience to work through the challenges and joys of Having It All. In the performance, Jaster will explore ideas of mothering at home, leaving the capital workforce, having a career, and building one’s own adventure. 

 

This performance is inspired by, and presented in conjunction with, the exhibition Alex McQuilkin: That Hand-Touch Sensibility, where McQuilkin created works following the birth of her second child. Light refreshments provided. Due to the durational nature of the program, entry is encouraged on the beginning of every half-hour to view the full performance. RSVP not required.
