Description

This Year’s theme: Reproduction and the State Led by artist and BRC Curator Dr Helen Knowles and artist Dr Leni Dothan, the course brings you into dialogue with the collection, this year’s themes, and your own practice. Workshops explore the aesthetic, ethical, political and visual discourses of birth through text, film and performance.
The world’s only contemporary art collection dedicated to childbirth invites you to a programme of lectures, workshops, seminars and one-to-one tutorials.

Open to midwives, artists, academics, curators, medics, health professionals, art historians, policy advisors — and anyone engaged with childbirth through the lens of art.
