Conference: Picturing the unseen
Three years ago I posted this brilliant image by Elina Brotherus to share an article by Hettie Judah Why is it so hard to talk about fertility?. Artist Sally Butcher wrote ‘Thanks for sharing this ❤️’.
So pleased and uplifted to be co-programming with Hettie, Sally and MAC curator Roma Piotrowska this event around Hettie’s major touring exhibition Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood. Thank you to Hettie for the invitation.
