MOTHEROTHER brings together a variety of artist’s perspectives on parenting. The selected art works by Hannah Cooke, Katie Cuddon, Sarah Maple, Lauren McLaughlin, Kübra Müjde, Sara Qaed and Kate Sweeney, explore caregiving within systems which often overlook, exclude, censor, minimise or legislate their experience.
The exhibition is a response to themes emerging from the social art project MOTHEROTHER, which launched in January 2023 as a supportive network for artist parents and carers. This exhibition is not intended to represent the myriad of carer and parenting roles across our creative community, the individuals experiencing the MOTHEROTHER project, nor all those which the project hopes to reach. It is not exhaustive but offers glimpses into some of the facets of mothering and motherhood. The story of this exhibition, like all care journeys, is not linear or focused upon conclusions. Rather it is something which has grown from conversations and experiences; some components developed by chance and some by design.
