A FREE talk with the creative and academic team behind the installation ‘The Last Taboo of Motherhood?’

The Last Taboo of Motherhood? is an installation about the silence around postnatal mental illness, which uses stories to illuminate a historically overlooked area of women’s health.  

To accompany this new work, we’re delighted to present a talk with the creative and academic team behind the installation.

Come along to find out about the story of the research at the centre of this project and gain an insight into how artists create engaging and meaningful work from historical material. You'll hear from the creative and research teams behind the installation and have the chance to ask questions.
