ShelterBeyond Sticks Bricks Author: Erin Sweeny
Shelter is an ongoing conversation about house, home, and refuge: from where we find it and how we choose itor perhaps how it chooses usto how and where it is lost, and why it is a fundamental human need. Hosted by Erin Sweeny, this podcast looks beyond structures to explore more complex ideas related to our lives in a society that is more mobile and fluid, but arguably less rooted. In discussing great freedoms to stark realities, these conversations aim to shed light on issues related to alternative lifestyles, social justice, globalization and displacement.

EPISODE 6: Anna Adler on (s)mothering and care in (a time of) crisis
Episode 6
Saturday, 1 May, 2021
A conversation with artist, educator, and cultural worker Anna Adler exploring the idea of the body as home through the lens of mothering - inspired in part by Erin's own experience of pregnancy and the idea of literally providing shelter for another being. The catalyst for this first conversation, originally recorded in May 2020, was a group exhibition Anna curated titled (s)mother at Bethany Arts Community in Ossining, New York. The second iteration of that show is happening again this year, opening on May 8 and on view through May 29, 2021. This is the first in a series of related conversations to be published as an extension of the exhibition. Ultimately, the conversation with Anna and those that will follow consider a broader exploration of what it means to mother and what it means to take care in a time of crisis. In this episode, Anna shares her own struggle with post-partum depression and curating/creating as a means of catharsis. Featuring original music by Char McCutcheon, who you’ll be hearing more from in an upcoming episode.
