Art Mamas: Meet the Vancouver collective that creates community for mothers in the arts. That’s the headline on a CBC story about a group that includes Heather Passmore, Matilda Aslizadeh, Sarah Shamash and other artists. “The assumption is that you won’t continue with your work because you won’t have time. But pregnancy itself raises all the biggest questions we know how to ask — things that relate deeply to religion and philosophy,” says Passmore. (CBC)
