At 1-54, Embankment, Stand 11, we are excited to present the work of three exceptional artists: Dola Posh, a UK-based Nigerian photographer, explores motherhood through striking self-portraits, capturing both the strength and vulnerability of this journey, while addressing themes of identity loss and postpartum depression. Ashley January, a Chicago-based painter, reflects on her maternal experiences, focusing on pre-eclampsia, premature birth, and the Black maternal morbidity crisis in the United States. Freya Bramble-Carter, a London ceramicist, channels ancient, sacred energy through her spiritual connection to clay, inviting a deep connection with the Earth. This dynamic showcase celebrates a rich diversity of mediums and voices.
