ABOUT THE SOCIETY
Mothership Stories Society is a non-profit society formed in 2008 to help generate, encourage, collect, and perform personal histories. We produce My Mother’s Story and My Father’s Story: a book, a show, a radio show, a documentary film, a website, a social structure, a challenge, a concept, and just about anything else that comes to mind. We started in Vancouver, BC, but we come from all over the world.
