Caroline Walker features in 'Acts of Creation'

Hayward Gallery Touring’s major group exhibition Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood first launched at Arnolfini. The exhibition plunged into the joys and heartaches, mess, myths and mishaps of motherhood through over 100 artworks, from the feminist avant-garde to the present day.

Presenting the work of more than sixty modern and contemporary artists, the exhibition  approached motherhood as a creative enterprise, albeit one at times tempered by ambivalence, exhaustion or grief.

Featured artists in Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood include Caroline Walker, Tracey Emin, Ghislaine Howard, Barbara Hepworth, Chantal Joffe, Claudette Johnson, Catherine Opie, Celia Pail, Paual Rego, Jenny Saville and Monica Sjöö.
