Mother Philosophy M.P.
Built upon the uniquely American philosophy of Hannah Arendt, Mother Philosophy is an ongoing public history project to reckon with the ways in which survival, creation, and public life are lived and experienced as embodied social and political realities—not merely as abstract representations or mechanical reproductions.
Mother Philosophy is a living history project intended to create new ways for people to experience and interpret labor, work, and action. It understands the interplay of these three distinctly human modes of being as the “vita activa,” or active life.
Similar to a geographic map, Mother Philosophy is intended for use as an open framework to map the terrain of social encounter and the production of shared meaning.
Through embodied acts of communication, ritual gatherings, and multi-perspective storytelling, the project was created to answer one simple question:
What does it look like to take responsibility for the world we create together?
