For many of us, having children is an unspoken expectation. The failure to do so is shameful, tragic, or intolerable—it veers from the heteronormative nuclear model, and so remains a stubborn taboo.

On the topic of children, we privately ask one another, “Will I have to get a square job? Will I have time to make art? Who will sacrifice themselves for the kids—you or me? Will I be supported if I choose not to become a parent?” This series lifts those shadowy, intimate questions into the light; each episode a family-study, detangling threads of identities as parent and artist.
