This anthology explores the interconnections between the maternal, the land, and ecology through ecofeminist and interdisciplinary creative practices. It reimagines mothering as an ecological and relational practice shaped by place, history, and environment. The editors, writing from geographically distant contexts, invited contributors to examine how maternal identities intersect with colonialism, migration, ecology, and creative practice. Across fourteen chapters, artists and scholars use performance, storytelling, dance, poetry, and visual art to illuminate maternal experiences as ecological, political, and embodied. The book highlights how mothering can foster kinship beyond the human, challenge boundaries between culture and nature, and serve as a form of environmental activism. Divided into three sections - Embodied Ecologies and Maternal Landscapes, Storytelling, Ritual, and Eco-Relational Pedagogies, and Ecofeminist Lineages and Radical Belonging - the anthology foregrounds maternal creativity as a site of care, resistance, and renewal amid ecological crisis, inviting readers to reimagine belonging and connection to earth.
