Art and Motherhood Pt2: w/ Eri Maeda

In this episode, we continue the conversation on motherhood through a deeply personal lens.

Eri, a Japanese artist living in Paris, shares her experience of navigating pregnancy while being confronted with unresolved parts of her own upbringing. As she describes it, it can feel like opening a dark box, one that asks you to face old patterns and question the kind of parent you want to become.

There are echoes of Eleanor’s story from Part 1, but Eri brings her own perspective, shaped by her life, her practice, and her cultural context.

Together, we explore what it means to challenge inherited ideas of parenting, and how those inner shifts can reshape not only motherhood, but how we show up as artists and individuals.
