(M)otherhood: Art & Life symposium
(M)otherhood: Art & Life event at Tate St Ives was devoted to perspectives around motherhood and creativity, around loss, grief and childlessness not by choice.
50 of us gathered and shared and supported each other to tell stories, our own and others, to find new ways into Barbara Hepworth’s work and new ways to be in the world. I know that sounds grand but my heart has been lifted by this work – through hosting at the weekend and developing the event with my wonderful colleague Katy Norris and the incredible and generous support of Sria Chatterjee and Sarah Victoria Turner of The Paul Mellon Centre.
Speakers:
Hettie Judah, Lucy Willow, Holly Slingsby, Melanie Stidolph, Sophie J Williamson, Kerri ni Dochartaigh, Dr Pragya Agarwal, Katy Norris, Jody Day.
A special thanks to the incredible audience who came from far and wide – who all helped create a safe space to share, for their warm feedback and for the potential of more to come from this.
Recordings of the presentations are accessible on The Paul Mellon Centre website.
