About
MATERNAL FANTASIES is an evolving and interdisciplinary group of international artists and cultural producers based in Berlin, Germany. We (re)connected in 2018 to share experiences and insights into the most marginalised topic within both the art world and feminist discourse: Motherhood.
We join forces to embrace, discuss, elaborate and express contrasting experiences and family stories, memories, fantasies, desires and horror scenarios related to ‘Maternal Fantasies’.
Currently we meet every three-weeks to examine through artistic research, collaborative artworks and lived experience the dynamics between artistic creation and motherhood seeking to shape the discourse of motherhood through our artistic working process.
We are an organic group that produces works in different constellations between the individual group members.
Current group members are: Aino El Solh, Hanne Klaas, Isabell Spengler, Lena Chen, Magdalena Kallenberger, Maicyra Leão, Melanie Schlachter, Mikala Hyldig Dal, Olga Sonja Thorarensen, Sandra Moskova.

Artist Statement
<div><span>Dr. Rachel Epp Buller is a feminist-art historian-printmaker-book artist-professor-mother of three whose art and scholarship speak to these intersections. In her dual practice of critical and creative work, she turns to writing, making, and curating to increase the visibility of issues around motherhood, care work, and the maternal body. Her maternal writing includes books - </span><em>Reconciling Art and Mothering, Mothering Mennonite, </em><span>and </span><em>Have Milk, Will Travel: Adventures in Breastfeeding - </em><span>and essays in </span><em>n.paradoxa, Journal of the Motherhood Initiative, Studies in the Maternal,</em><span> and in many edited collections. Her recent prints and artist books explore family identities, shared knowledge, imagined histories, and textual references to traditions of fine handwork passed on between generations of women. As a professor at a liberal arts college, she values collaboration in many forms and frequently works with colleagues across disciplinary boundaries. </span></div>
