Building on that groundbreaking foundation, this new exhibition advances Anthropology of Motherhood’s commitment to cultivating disability arts in Pittsburgh by increasing awareness of disability justice and amplifying Deaf and disabled artists’ creative expressions. Featuring accessible programming, community dialogue, and innovative interdisciplinary work, the exhibit strengthens Pittsburgh’s growing role as a hub for disability arts. This event is generously supported by the Pittsburgh Foundation and the Opportunity Fund. Anthropology of Motherhood is an ongoing curation of artwork and design that engages in the complex visual, material, emotional, corporeal and lived experiences of motherhood, care-giving, parenting, nurturing and maternal labor.
