Brief Illuminations Between Interruptions is a film about motherhood, artistic labour and female friendship. The work is a record of a dialogue, unfolding across two years, between artists Diana Baker Smith and Kate Blackmore. Together, they reflect on the complexities of motherhood, the politics of care and their shared experience of becoming pregnant at 40.
