Tereza Buskova: Hidden Mothers

22 Jun 2024 - 29 Sep 2024 View Venues, Dates & Times

Czech multimedia artist Tereza Buskova’s Hidden Mothers takes its name from a commonly used practice in Victorian-era portrait photography. When mums were having photos taken of their infants - who they needed to keep still during the necessary long exposures - they would sit nearby but cover themselves with a cloth to ensure that they didn’t appear in the image themselves. In so doing, they became known as ‘hidden mothers’.

Tereza’s exhibition aims to provide a platform from which to empower women, ‘encouraging mothers to step out from the shadows and reclaim their importance in society’.
