Catalog for Alternative Maternals, a visual arts exhibition that took place at the Lindner Project Space in Berlin in August 2014. Through a variety of expressions the show combined diverse lenses of absence, rejection, memory, legacy, scandal, autonomy, physical body and social media. Each work dismantled the collective characteristics by which the maternal is recognizable or known. Curated by Laura González, Ph.D. (Spain/UK) Artists in the Exhibition: Deborah Dudley (USA) , Linda Duvall (Canada), Jeca Rodríguez-Colón (Puerto Rico), Miriam Schaer (USA), Valerie Walkerdine (UK)
