Self-identifing mothers share anonymous stories among an artistic community exploring the complexities of motherhood.
Creator
Brianna Allen is a multidisciplinary artist who created Momologue Collective in 2019. The archive of anonymous stories serves as a reference library for her own work in painting, playwriting, and performance.
Contributors
Self-identifing mothers are welcome in this space to share their true mothering experiences free of guilt, shame and judgement. Stories are held in both reverence and in revelry and shared anonymously, while welcoming creatives to engage with, build upon and feel anchored by.
Artists
Contemporary artists of any media creating work within the themes of motherhood, who interact and engage with this archive while creating new work are welcome to be recognized. Please contact us if your work benefits from this growing collection of anonymous and true stories and would like to be featured.
