Cartography of Care is an exhibition curated in response to the idea of an emotional atlas. It brings together the work of an international group of artist mothers working across a variety of disciplines to explore how we might map the human experience of caregiving. The exhibition considers the relationships between geographies, maps and emotions and traces the physical and interior journeys and landscapes of these artists: Artworks which explore how the experience of care can be physically mapped on the maternal body, in domestic space, in our relationships with ourselves, and in how we care for others in times of crisis.

Exhibiting Artists: Adele Mary Reed, Catherine Reinhart, Charlene Scott, Chloë Marsden, Daphne Bennett, Dafne Salis, Diana Krilova, Eva Gjaltema, Francesca Ricci, Gemma Gore, Hannah Turner-Duffin, Jena Love, Jenny Mason, Jessica Jane Charleston, JingLu Zhao, Judy Dibiase, Juliette Berkeley, Josie McCoy, Kate Cameron Reid, Kate Holcomb Hale, Kathryn Rodrigues, Kelsey Ashe, Lila Chatfield, Lillias Kinsman-Chauvet, Lucia Boaghe, Lucy Cade, Maura Jamieson, Michelle Gallagher, Nina Gerada, Olivia de Fleuriot Perry, Renata Fernandez, Rosie Barnes, Sally Kesterton, Sarah Buckius, Shannon Rae Fincke, Wang Chen, Yuko Edwards.

About Spilt Milk Gallery CIC
Spilt Milk is a social enterprise based within the St Margaret’s House Complex in Edinburgh. Our mission is to make motherhoods visible in the arts by supporting the work of artists who identify as *mothers, and empowering mothers in our community through accessible, artist-led activity. We support and advocate for artist mothers through an international membership network, exhibitions programme, peer support and mentoring, and parent-friendly, flexible artist residencies. Through the provision of accessible opportunities for mothers to engage within the arts and develop their careers, we aim to contribute to a more equitable culture where the voices of women and mothers are represented. 

*Spilt Milk uses the term ‘mothers’ however we are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for non-binary parents and trans mothers, long-term carers, those that experience racism, disabled mothers, lesbian, gay and bisexual mothers, young mothers, older mothers and those from a low income background.
