M(other)ing | Oct. 29–Dec. 3, 2025
Curators: Feixue Mei, Meaghan Dee, Bree McMahon
Opening Reception: Wed., October 29, 5-7:30pm
An exhibition dedicated to creating space for designers and creators producing work about motherhood, womb-bearing bodies, reproductive journeys, and living child-free.
Reproductive care is universal. Whether you care for a child or not, these experiences are part of human existence. While these events are universal, they are also universally politicized. Themes related to motherhood, motherly bodies, and reproductive journeys, do not often find a place in design research. The exhibition pushes boundaries between art and design by focusing on individual reproductive journeys and social, revealing that design has a role in shaping individual experiences, improving collective outcomes, and connecting communities.
Views and positions expressed in exhibitions are those of the artists and do not necessarily reflect the views and positions of the university.
