Spilt Milk Gallery CIC are inviting submissions from artists who identify as mothers for a physical exhibition in Edinburgh, October 2022. Work in all mediums will be considered from artist/mothers at any stage of their careers, of any age and living anywhere in the world.

Spilt Milk Gallery CIC are inviting submissions of work in all mediums to be considered for our upcoming physical exhibition in Edinburgh, October 2022. 

The exhibition committee is interested in work which explores the relationship between geographies, maps and emotions. Responses may want to explore the following themes and ideas; an atlas of emotion, emotional mapping, the longitude and latitude of life, mapping motherhood, travelling domestic, conflict mapping, mapping mindset, memory mapping.

We were particularly inspired by Brené Brown’s book Atlas of the Heart where she gets to the core of "mapping meaningful connection and the language of human experience."
