Symposium: Picturing The Unseen – Grief & labour in and out of motherhood

Thu 12 September | 10am – 5.30pm

Join us for a symposium addressing experiences of (m)otherhood including; struggling to conceive, infertility, being childless not by choice, maternal grief and caring for chronically ill children.

Held in the context of the major exhibition Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood, this day-long event will feature presentations by artists, writers and art historians sharing their research and personal work around these subjects. This event is open to all.

This event is being programmed by Hettie Judah, Melanie Stidolph and Sally Butcher, and forms part of the wider programme of public events accompanying the Acts of Creation exhibition.

Unfortunately, due to the delicate nature of the themes being discussed and being sensitive towards our attendees in creating a supportive space, we would ask that no children be present at the Symposium.
