This public symposium held at MAC to accompany the major exhibition, Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood (Hayward Gallery Touring, curated by Hettie Judah, programmed with Melanie Stidolph and Sally Butcher.). Six panelists addressed experiences of (m)otherhood, including infertility, involuntary childlessness, maternal grief, and caring for chronically ill children, alongside film screenings and audience Q&A.
