Join artist Atong Atem, writer Rachel Ang, and author Sophie Walker at Fitzroy Town Hall to discuss what it means to become a mother.
What does it mean to become a mother? Matrescence—the epic, often invisible metamorphosis into motherhood—remains one of the most profound transitions in a woman’s life, yet it is still only beginning to be widely understood.
In this intimate panel, artist Atong Atem, writer Rachel Ang, and author and host of Australian Birth Stories podcast Sophie Walker reflect on their journeys into motherhood. Moderated by broadcaster Beth Atkinson-Quinton, the conversation will explore how motherhood has reshaped their identities, bodies, and sense of place in the world.
