Ishbel Myerscough featured in Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood

Touring
9 March 2024

As part of Hayward Gallery's touring exhibition, Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood, Ishbel Myerscough's All (2016), will be featured. 

Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood, beginning at Arnolfini, Bristol on 9 March - 26 May 2024, is a major group exhibition which plunges into the joys and heartaches, mess, myths and mishaps of motherhood through over 100 artworks, from the feminist avant-garde to the present day. 

The exhibition will address diverse experiences of motherhood across three themes: Creation, which looks at conception, pregnancy, birth and nursing; Maintenance which explores motherhood and caregiving in the day-to-day; and Loss, which touches on miscarriage and involuntary childlessness, as well as reproductive rights. The heart of the exhibition is a series of revelatory self-portraits - a celebration of the artist as mother.
