FT Weekend Presents: Photographing motherhood – Andi Gáldi Vinkó in conversation with Susan Bright

Motherhood: This capacious subject is interrogated through the lens of artist Andi Gáldi Vinkó in her project ‘Sorry I Gave Birth I Disappeared But Now I’m Back’. Curator Susan Bright invites Gáldi Vinkó to reflect on this body of work, and her drive to expose the personal yet perhaps common insecurities associated with what happens when an artist becomes a mother.

Recent exhibitions include group shows at the Robert Capa Center and Birth at TJ Boulting, London curated by Charlotte Jansen.
