Fruitful Infertility: Artist’s Talk with Dr Rebecca Baillie

Fruitful Infertility: Artist’s Talk with Dr Rebecca Baillie

OPENING: 16/10/14 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Dr Rebecca Baillie is an artist, freelance writer, curator and member of the network MaMSIE  (Mapping Maternal Subjectivities, Identities and Ethics) based at the Department of Psychosocial Studies, Birkbeck University, London. MaMSIE creates spaces for interdisciplinary conversations about motherhood and the maternal more broadly.

Join us for a reflection on Tabitha Moses’ exhibition, Investment – along with an exploration into the artist’s work more generally – to consider the notion that common experiences of miscarriage and infertility are rarely represented in art. The work of Frida Kahlo, Tracey Emin, Lorraine Clarke, Elina Brotherus and Ana Casas Broda – artists who share an interest in origin and loss – will be mentioned in support and comparison. Rebecca’s talk will be followed by delicious food and hearty discussion.

The event is free but booking is required. The event will be held in the upper engine room where there is limited disabled access. Please phone (0151) 7072277 or edgehill@metalculture.com for more information.
