Good Mom/Bad Mom with Katy Hessel, Buhlebezwe Siwani, Laurie Cluitmans and Heske ten Cate

In art, a one-sided image of ’the mother’ as a self-sacrificing and nurturing figure prevails. Does a new visual language contribute to emancipation? We will discuss this with, amongst others, Katy Hessel, art historian, curator, broadcaster, and the bestselling author of The Story of Art without Men.Mothers have been banished to the private domain for centuries. This is also true in the art world. What are the social consequences of this? As part of the exhibition Good Mom/Bad Mom at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht and the publication Mothering Myths: An ABC on Art, Birth and Care, we unravel the clichés, stigmas, and myths surrounding the representation of motherhood. A conversation about parenting, the politics of the womb, and self-determination.In collaboration with Centraal Museum Utrecht.Check out the privacy notice on https://art19.com/privacy and the privacy statement of California on https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
