About Mothergirl:
Mothergirl (Katy Albert and Sophia Hamilton) is a Chicago based performance duo whose work has taken the form of installation, durational event, and guided audience interaction. Mothergirl’s characters, and the worlds they inhabit, exhibit a strategically refracted or misrepresented view of current political and philosophical discourse, creating a space where viewers are challenged to think critically about their own relationships with feminism, consumerism, and representational visuality. They are founders and hosts of Bits and Pieces: A Monthly Salon for Ideas and Experiments. They were 2012 ACRE Residents and 2013 Chicago Artists Coalition HATCH Residents. www.mothergirlperformance.com

Quimby’s is proud to be a sponsor for Chicago Zine Fest.
