Mothering Spaces
Mothering Spaces (est. 2022) is a developing platform exploring themes and issues around female health, the maternal and feminine identity through curatorial and research methods. Mothering Spaces commissioned it's first exhibition titled Maybe I'm being dramatic by Lauren Hamilton at GalleryX in Dublin, 2–6 April 2024. This was supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.
Mothering Spaces has started an online initiative where artists can share their projects through this platform once a month via Instagram. Whether it’s current projects, works in progress, or potential research areas, the aim is to create an online space in which artists working with themes of maternity, women’s health, female anatomy, reproductive issues, social issues and more, can share what their practice is all about. The aim is to put the artist at the forefront, learn more about different practices, and hopefully open doors to networking and collaborations.
