Good Mom/Bad Mom - Centraal Museum Utrecht

Super mom. Regret parent. Raven mother. Single mom. Conscious not mother. Desired mother. Bonus mother. Adoption Mother. Co-mother. Never-mother. Motherhood has numerous variants. Good Mom/Bad Mom is an exhibition about motherhood, about caring, about the politics of the uterus, about emancipation.

The exhibition offers a contemporary reflection on the art-historical cliché of the 'good mother' and takes visitors on a journey through the history of the imagination of motherhood: from ancient, stereotypical and often romanticized mother-and-child imaginations to works by new and exciting generations of artists who deal with this theme in their own – and often very personal – way. In thematic cabinets - 'time capsules' - topics such as abortion and self-determination are given a historical and social interpretation and thus offer points of access for discussion.
