Pandemic Motherhood explores how various artistic practices and processes have been instrumental in processing, sharing, and learning about the intersectional epidemics unique to mothers living in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

Exploring how the COVID-19 pandemic and childcare converge to create challenging circumstances for women and mothers, the book interrogates ways in which individuals navigated these challenges through dance, performing arts, and theatre. Central to this topic is a growing body of literature about how applied performance affects change, activates transformation and healing, and engages communities in shared lived experience. The collection highlights artistic processes and experiences of developing, creating, devising, or contributing to artwork that centralizes topics of social inequity with pregnancy, motherhood, and womanhood. Pandemic Motherhood also features innovative artistic practices from contributing authors that illustrate complex, diverse experiences of contemporary and coexisting states of art making and mothering.
