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.

What it is to be There
Thank you to the Brigstow Institute, for their support for this project, and enabling me to work so closely with Ass. Professor Lesel Dawson (University of Bristol) and Julian Brigstocke (Cardiff University). Being in the valley and talking with them both about experiences that were way in my past and fresh in the moment, was so valuable. Our journey is all here –What it is to be there (PDF)
