About Louise Bourgeois
Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) was born in Paris and lived and worked in New York from 1938. She is widely recognised as one of the most important figures of modern and contemporary art. Often biographical, Bourgeois’ work explores themes including childhood, family, motherhood and gender identity.
Kemp-Welch has been inspired by Cambridge pioneering company Pye Electronics, their history and remaining impact on the local community as well as Kettle’s Yard’s founder, Jim Ede’s own experiences of public broadcasting in the UK and USA.
This informal afternoon is an opportunity to use our exhibitions of women artists to explore motherhood both behind the work, as part of women artists practise and the subject of the work itself.
Accompanying children welcome.
FREE, booking required
Supported by MothersWhoMake.
