About Isa:
Isa Rus is a Berlin-based, Spanish artist and photographer. In this episode, we delve into her latest, ongoing photography series, 'Birthmark', which explores the themes of home, identity, belonging, and principally, motherhood.
Summary:
In this episode, we explore what it means to be both a mother and a migrant; how motherhood shapes, breaks apart, and reconstitutes identity; creativity and motherhood; magic realism and the human experience; spiritual connection and liberation through the mundane or everyday; and the ongoing project of home-making and cultivating belonging in a new, adopted culture.
