Mã(e)ternidade: bordando a invisibilização da maternidade

Abstract

This research aimed to build a practical work, based on personal experiences and theoretical investigations,that makes it possible to reflect on the invisibility of "wounds" in motherhood, and how they pass from generation to generation. During this process, I investigate contemporary artists and dialogue with their productions, I bring data about the maternal issue in Brazil and relate them to my family's maternal experiences. I make a parallel between embroidery, wounds and invisibility using embroidery as a language for making the works, and presenting at the end of the research an exhibition/installation.
