The exhibition showcases nearly 300 items, both historical and contemporary, involved in the arc of human reproduction, ranging from menstrual cups1, breast pumps, and baby monitors2 to medical tools and maternity clothing. It explores objects and processes through a variety of fields: art, photography, product design, posters3, advertisements, fashion, and architecture, with a selection emerging from various cultural and geographical backgrounds. While being born is a universal human experience, the designs that shape it are not. Designing Motherhood invites you to consider why and how we have developed designs to facilitate reproductive health, and to ponder the political, economic, and social implications of how we medicalize reproduction.
