Study visit: Photography and the representation of motherhood

The OCA has organised a study visit to the Photographer's Gallery and the Foundling Museum this autumn.  The galleries are showing two linked exhibitions curated by Susan Bright.

The Photographer's Gallery presents Home Truths: Photography, Motherhood and Identity which looks at the work of eight artists.  The Foundling exhibition looks at Home Truths: Motherhood and Loss.

I've recently been reading about ways in which I can determine subjects for my photographic projects and gender is one of them. I haven't got any further than identifying womanhood as an area of broad interest so I think this exhibition will be very relevant.

I have just had confirmation of my place.  I am looking forward to meeting up with fellow students again after missing the last study visit.

  1. Hi Sarah,

    Remember me? I'm on this study visit too. My level 2 critical essay will be about gender representation so hopefully I will pick up some useful points.

    See you there!

    1. Hi Michael
      Of course I remember you. How are you?

      I'm looking forward to this study visit. It's been a long time since I was able to go on one.

      See you then.

      Sarah
