Moms workshop

THE ART OF BEING A MOM

On 18 November 2017 the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum is hosting a talk by Leah Hughes, the Founder of Gentle Breastfeeding Support, for new and expectant moms. The topic of the talk is "The Art of Being a Mom: Breastfeeding, pre-birth planning and the first few days of motherhood”. Mom’s are welcome to arrive from 9:30 and the talk will commence at 10:00. Babies are most welcome and the venue is pram friendly and has facilities for changing nappies.

Coffee, tea and light refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Art Museum. Moms are invited to enjoy an exhibition titled Motherhood curated by the Art Museum staff in tribute of mothers everywhere. The exhibition explores the theme of motherhood through artworks selected from the Museum’s permanent collection. The artworks depict the beauty and joy of motherhood alongside works that show the challenges and struggles that women face when they become mothers.

The talk is supported by Little Big Souls an international not-for-profit organization
committed to the health of babies and reducing death and disability for pre-term babies born in Africa. We provide a fighting chance to these beautiful souls.

Lucky draw prizes are up for grabs at the talk.
