Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births

Museum of Arts and Design, New York, New York
October 4, 2025–March 15, 2026

Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births explores the arc of human reproduction through a design lens, inviting audiences to consider how designs developed over the last 150 years have shaped reproductive health. The exhibition broadly examines the intersections of design, access, and experiences of (in)fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
