Bare Mum, in collaboration with Soul Studio, brings you a thought provoking exhibition set to challenge our perceptions of motherhood.
Created over a span of six months, 24 women were asked to bare their bodies and share their story of how motherhood has shaped them. Working with body casting artist Juliana Monteiro, their stories were immortalised through detailed, lifesize sculptures of their wombs. Presented as fragmented classical sculptures, these casts capture the strength and fragility of these mother’s bodies and their journey.
As each woman was cast, they bared their soul to tell their own unique story of motherhood. The recordings you will hear vary from the joyous to the heartbreaking, but all share the effects of motherhood beyond the physical.
These 24 stories are a small representation of the many varied journeys to motherhood but it is our hope that in sharing these stories we give power to women to challenge perceptions, be informed and connect with one another.
Open daily between 12pm and 7pm
