ANTONIA SELLBACH EXHIBITED IN ‘M_OTHERING THE PERCEPTUAL ARTS POETICA’ AT COUNIHAN GALLERY, BRUNSWICK

‘This exhibition seeks to explore how maternal roles are being approached in creative practice. Curated by Abbra Kotlarczyk and Antonia Sellbach, ‘m_othering the perceptual ars poetica’ is an examination of intersectional approaches to mothering and parentage, to include not only the care of children but of the environment and cultural spaces — their histories, forms and legacies. Within the broader context of care-taking and custodianship, the exhibition seeks to describe how maternal roles are being approached in, and at the sidelines of, creative practice. In this way, the exhibition poses how ‘m_othering’ might function as a framework that speaks to a wide range of other care-taking practices and how we might consider diverse forms of m_othering as creative praxis; as an embodied ars poetica — a term that articulates a state of being, rather than meaning.’

Exhibition current to 29 September
