This episode is a love letter to everyone mothering on stolen land, in displaced bodies, in the precarity of modernity. It is a reminder that queer and Indigenous ways of childrearing and matrilineal care are often similar practices. One and a half years into raising a child and a lifetime into raising themselves in community, executive producer Prinita Thevarajah collages conversations with Vanessa Marian Varghese, Midori Mukai and Ella Noah Bancroft to reveal the ultimate truth: that the violence of modernity world was built off womb envy, and that carework is crucial to survive fascism.

Vanessa Marian Varghese is a writer, movement director and community builder exploring movement, identity and contemporary culture through film, live performance and immersive experiences

Midori Mukai is a Tkaronto/Toronto based artist and arts facilitator — her creative practice explores ceramics and fine craft. Informed by ancestry, her work highlights traditional approaches off-centre from the Western lens

Ella Noah Bancroft is a descendent of the peoples of the Bundjalung nation and has bloodlines to England, Poland and Scotland. Australian born artist, storyteller, mentor and founder of “The Returning”. Ella Noah Bancroft is a pioneer for The Decolonisation movement. Through her writing and work Ella has been promoting re-wilding, the rise of the female energy, as way back to deep relationship nature and decolonizing of personal, social and ecological well-being for 10 years.She is widely respected amongst her community and believes in local communities with local economies as a way to find hope for the health of our planet and people.
