On art and motherhood: the artists doing both

Artwork of woman birthing a washing machine, and dishes in sink, from ‘Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood’, a touring Hayward Gallery exhibition currently in Bristol.

Does it have to be either/or when it comes to achieving our professional dreams and becoming a parent? It is a question considered by writer and critic Hettie Judah in a new Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition, ‘Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood’, on view at the Arnolfini in Bristol until 26 May 2024.

Four years in the making, the show features work by more than 100 artists. It is one of the only exhibitions in the UK to show work by artists exploring their own motherhood, and the impact that motherhood has had on their art.
