Between Production and Reproduction

During Rhiannon Rebecca Salisbury’s exhibition Matrescence we are inviting women to gather and explore the beauty and horror of these epic paintings as well as open the dialogue upon pregnancy, birth, and motherhood in tandem with a career as an artist.   We aim to lay bare the inadequacies of our current conditions and the state of isolation for young mothers and have a strong desire to plant the seeds of solidarity and community for women to help each other as well as create a powerful resource of support.  

We invite everyone interested in the subject of balancing motherhood and artistic practice and encourage women artists a on the brink of embracing motherhood or revelling in the bliss/exaustion of a newborn’s arrival, all while nurturing your artistic calling.  It’s time to step into the spotlight at the “Between Production and Reproduction Workshop.” Here, we beckon you to immerse yourself in an enriching exchange of experiences and knowledge. Support and solidarity- as it is through sharing and joining we are strengthened – We know it is challenging and hope some of you have experiences that have helped you or perhaps stories that have hindered you – We hope to provide the space and people to talk candidly about all of this and more –  balancing residencies and motherhood, exhibitions and breast feeding, creating and caring – lets establish the camaraderie of a community that truly understands. Your voice deserves to resound, and your aspirations warrant unwavering support. Join us on September 21^st  at Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop and to encourage and allow a new type of generosity and support for yourself in this unique journey.

Babies welcome – Breast feeding encouraged – bring books, tools —anything that may have been great help to you …
