Please join us for a private tour of the exhibition “Designing Motherhood” at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft on Friday, February 7, 11:30 AM, followed by a Dutch treat lunch at a local restaurant, TBD.
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast is the program’s partner and there is a stunning piece of art reflecting the mission of Planned Parenthood to ensure the right and ability of all individuals to manage their reproductive health.
Designing Motherhood invites audiences to consider why and how designs are developed to ponder the political, economic and social implications of medicalizing reproduction. The exhibition explores experiences of (in)fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, parenthood, and early childhood through blown-glass weaning vessels and hand carved rocking chairs to art jewelry inspired by breast pump flanges, pacifiers and nipple shields.
There is no charge for the tour and there is always free admission. The Craft Center has a donation box and donations to Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast are always in need.
More information on the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft Center can be found at crafthouston.org The exhibition ends March 15, so please spread the word and tell your family and friends about it.
