For the past year, we have supported our membership of artists through an online exhibition ‘Do you hear us, are you listening?’ as well as a physical collaborative exhibition titled ‘Formula for Care?’ Do you hear us, are you listening? 24 November 2023 – 13 January 2024 Bringing together the diverse voices of the Spilt Milk artist community, our latest online exhibition delves into themes of home, care, labour, and family, and how these intertwine with a sense of self as artist, as (m)other. The work featured in this exhibition implores us to not only stop and listen closely to these voices but to really hear what they are saying. This online exhibition was curated through an open submission to members, without a defined theme, nor a selection process. All members were invited to have their work included. The process of removing the selection committee allowed for a more democratic way of exhibiting our artists’ works, free of judgement or censoring and for all voices to be heard with equal importance. The exhibition included the work of 76 artists based both in Scotland, UK and internationally. Their in the exhibition was promoted through our marketing channels and social media. Formula for Care? 18 October 2023 – 24 March 2024 Formula For Care? is an exhibition of work by ten artist members of Spilt Milk, presented by Tonic Arts NHS Lothian Charity’s award-winning Arts in Health and Wellbeing programme. This exhibition brings together artists working in a range of mediums to represent their diverse perspectives and unique journeys of mothering. The artworks explore both the physical changes to the maternal body as well as the shifts in identity and changing priorities as children grow older, and the effects these have on mothers’ mental wellbeing. The exhibition hopes to encourage us to think about how we care for ourselves and our own health, while caring for others. How do we continue this care when unexpected feelings or circumstances arise, or when things happen beyond our control? While there are many aspects of mothering that are universal, each person’s journey is completely unique. Our hope is that all mothers can feel less alone on their journeys in the knowledge that each experience is different: there is no one formula for care rather, multiple formulas. The exhibition included a number of community engagement activities including exhibition tours, drop in workshops and artist talks to engage local mothers in Edinburgh, patients of NHS Lothian, and staff members at the Western General Hospital. We also hosted the Artists Way Reading and Support Group, hosted by Spilt Milk member Beckie Upton which ran online between 18 March – 15 July 2024. This group of mothers and those with caring responsibilities met online weekly to follow the artists way course together in a supportive environment facilitated by Beckie Upton. The group followed the path set out by the book and use the weekly sessions to reflect and share our thoughts, challenges, and successes in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. The course included: weekly reading, daily writing practice (morning pages), writing exercises, a weekly self-directed 'Artist Date'.
