⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood opens today at the Millennium Gallery 🙌 This touring exhibition by the Hayward Gallery and curated by Hettie Judah approaches motherhood as a creative enterprise, one at times tempered by ambivalence, exhaustion or grief. Addressing diverse experiences of motherhood, the displays span themes of creation, caregiving and loss. The heart of the exhibition is a series of revelatory self-portraits – a celebration of the artist as mother. Entry to the exhibition is free – if you’re able, please donate and help keep your museums free and open for everyone to enjoy. Guidance for visitors: Artworks in this exhibition address important issues surrounding women’s health and wellbeing, including nudity, childbirth, (in)fertility, miscarriage, abortion, loss, domestic abuse, adoption, sterilisation and obstetric violence. 🔗 Visit our website to find out more: https://www.sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/acts-of-creation-on-art-and-motherhood/
