Anthropology of Motherhood: Feeding Room is celebrating its seventh year as part of the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Festival. AoM is an exhibition featuring works of art that engage in the complex visual, material, emotional, corporeal, and lived experiences of motherhood, caregiving, parenting, nurturing, and maternal labor. This unique hybrid exhibition is innovatively designed as both an art space, an interactive amenity, and a place of respite for families with young children.

This year, AoM is proud to collaborate with WHAMglobal in Birthing a Movement featuring artist Lena Chen and her project Full Circle. Full Circle is a participatory art project that engages communities of birth workers in sharing stories about their labor experiences. Full Circle will be taking place with birth workers on June 3rd, 4th, and 5th and with AoM volunteers from June 6-12. Lena’s work will be accompanied with six commissioned portraits of birth workers from the WHAMglobal community.
