Thought Pieces Ep.8: Ahndraya Parlato reads from 'Who is Changed and Who is Dead'

Thought Pieces Ep.8: Ahndraya Parlato reads from 'Who is Changed and Who is Dead'

In Ep. 8 of ‘Thought Pieces’, Ahndraya Parlato reads from her multi-faceted rumination on the contradictions and complexities of motherhood, 'Who is Changed and Who is Dead'. Drawing on her own experiences as both a parent and a child, Parlato strives to find clarity around the fundamental questions of parenthood, mortality, and gender. Are her contemporary fears any different than the fears felt by mothers throughout history? Which anxieties are specific to having female children? And how is motherhood itself a construction?
