About the event
From ancient depictions of fertility goddesses to modern portrayals of the mother-child bond, we will journey through history to explore how ideas, attitudes, and representations of motherhood have transformed across cultures and eras.
Description
Through a blend of historical context, visual examples, and personal reflection, we will examine the diverse ways in which motherhood has been portrayed and perceived.
Throughout four lecture-workshops, we will analyse iconic artworks, uncover some of the societal and cultural forces that shaped these representations, and gain insights into the changing roles and expectations of mothers/ carers throughout history.
In addition, there will be space to reflect on your own relationship to the concept of 'the mother'—whether as a figure in your life, a role you inhabit, or an idea that resonates with you.
