Season 1 | Episode 9

In this episode, I speak to the obliteration of early motherhood and continue debunking the myth that a mother and a practicing artist cannot co-exist within the same body. For a new essay further exploring this pervasive cultural narrative, head over to the newsletter iteration of R I T E S.

R I T E S is a podcast from composer, musician, and writer, Paris Hurley. In these weekly episodes, she shares personal essays about creative practice, art-making, and motherhood. Paid subscribers also receive her sonic prayers—a new piece of music released monthly just to this community. For more of Paris' work, you can hear OBJECT AS SUBJECT wherever you listen to your music or sign up for her weekly newsletter, where she shares additional writing and updates on all of her projects.

R I T E S was created, edited, and produced by Paris Hurley. All music, including the theme song, A Body Not Our Own is by OBJECT AS SUBJECT in collaboration with producer, Ben Kaplan of Lost Future Records.
