PostNatal
PostNatal is a group show ft artists Lauren McLaughlin (@laurenlifeartandstuff), Emma O’Brien (@emmaobrien2016), Rebecca Livesey-Wright (@rebeccor_blimey), Charmaine Beneyto (@charmainebeneyto), Yvonne E.Maxwell (@yvonne.emaxwell).
Exploring the complex interplay between trauma, healing, domesticity, and matrescence—the profound physical, emotional, and psychological transformation experienced in the postnatal journey of becoming mother— PostNatal considers this transition not just as a biological passage but as a deeply creative and transformative process, often marked by pain and rupture alongside the resilience and healing that emerges.
This presentation enquires the often-overlooked narratives of (m)otherhood, reclaiming them as vital, raw, and profoundly human.
