Over the last 2 years the Museum in the Park have been working in partnership with The Women’s Art Activation System – artists Sarah Dixon and Sharon Bennett - on the Baby Makers: Making History project. We set out to establish reproductive and birth histories in the Museum collection as a little-recorded but important part of our collective heritage.
This display brings together museum objects that inspired the project and new stories collected as a part of it. These include artworks created at The WAAS workshops, newly acquired objects relating to Stroud Maternity Unit and creative pieces exploring trauma and miscarriage.
In collaboration with Stroud Against Racism and Stroud Local History Society, funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund.
Collectors Room, FREE but donations welcome.
