Operated as the visual arts arm of the New Deal Works Progress Administration Federal One Program, these posters were created during The Great Depression (1930s to 1940s). I love these great bits of history and who wouldn't love a piece of art focused on promoting breastfeeding?!
On October 8th, 2014, The MILC Group was so honored to be a sponsor of a special mothers-only day at French & Michigan Gallery. The exhibition we were there to enjoy....Supply and Demand by Sarah Sudhoff.
From the French & Michigan website, "Turning to the politics of breastfeeding, Sudhoff pulls from her inability to produce enough milk for her then-young son as inspiration for documented performances, milk typologies, self-portraits, and sculpture. The milk serves as subject and metaphor for feelings of loss and failure experienced by so many mothers, while highlighting the way in which breastfeeding is highly medicalized and undeniably personal in contemporary American culture." Thank you to all the mothers who came out with and without their babies. We would also like to thank Celeste Wackenhut who has so beautifully curated this exhibit and brought us into the project and Elizabeth Pearson who is the most amazing chef we know and provided the delicious treats we enjoyed that morning. Most of all thank you to Sarah Sudhoff for this beautiful work! Exhibit Information: Supply and Demand by Sarah Sudhoff French & Michigan 115 Michigan Ave. San Antonio, TX 78201 210.378.0961 |
