New Exhibition Redefines Motherhood Through Art
Imagine a museum showing art about 'Mothering' but not in the way you might expect.
Instead of just pictures of moms and babies, it shows different ideas about caring for others.
Some art explores how women support each other, like a forest of trees.
Others show how people from the transgender community create their own families.
One artist shows how finding art circles helps as a support.
The exhibition is open till September 5 and includes artists from different countries who are sharing their views on motherhood.
The "Mothering" exhibition at Vida Heydari Contemporary art gallery in Pune challenges traditional mother-and-child representations.
The exhibition features works from various artists including Shivangi Ladha, Aravani Art Project, and Chathuri Nissansala.
Shivangi Ladha's work explores the themes of isolation and collective strength, reflecting her experience as an immigrant.
Aravani Art Project's work redefines family concepts by depicting transgender figures and expanded notions of motherhood.
The exhibition includes diverse perspectives on mothering, including acts of reclamation, resistance, and self-care.
