Nurture exhibition
Curated by Crescent Arts, Nurture shows the art of mothers who have yet to have the opportunity to display work due to their caregiving duties. The exhibition has been developed to accompany the Feeding Chair, which is currently touring the UK, alongside the Floor Flag, an artwork developed by design researcher Sally Sutherland in response to conversations with infant feeding activists, and a soundscape by poet Charlotte Oliver, co-created with Scarborough’s community during workshops last November.
Creative workshops in Scarborough
During November 2024, poet Charlotte Oliver will be hosting drop-in creative workshops at Scarborough Art Gallery, exploring people’s experiences of breast, chest and bottle-feeding in public. Participants will be encouraged to distil their thoughts and feelings about the subject down to a few words to write onto a breast badge, which they design and make themselves. The conversations will be used to create a soundscape, which will include poetry and accompany the Feeding Chair when it is hosted at Woodend Gallery in Spring 2025.
