This event series pays tribute to the powerful alternative images of
mothering we've inherited through the pioneering work of feminist Sci-Fi
writers, and examines their sustained relevance within the
socio-political landscape of today. Through a live Talk-Show format,
artists, scientists and scholars are invited to programme their "ideal
TV and reading evening" on the topic, so that the audience (re)discovers
the works through the guest's eyes.
