Thus Mother Art was born. Opposed by the established feminist art community and attacked by conservative politicians, including Ronald Reagan, they dealt with social and political topics that remain relevant today. This documentary chronicles the members of Mother Art though interviews, archival footage and photos from their performances and installations. Mother Art created art in laundromats, cleansed the banks of greed and corruption, were kicked out of the Federal Building for 'politically offensive' art, and more. As feminist artists, they forged new territory by dealing with a range of social topics through art in public spaces. Written by Anonymous See less
