In Conversation: Eleanor Shipman and Dr Kate McMillan
9 December, 7pm - 8.30pm
Bosse & Baum, Studio DG.1, Bussey Building, 133 Rye Ln, London SE15 4ST

Join artist Eleanor Shipman and academic and artist Dr Kate McMillan for a conversation exploring women’s labour and collaboration. Shipman collaborates with researchers to translate academic ideas into sculptural, participatory and public art works, and often approaches researchers to critically reflect on her own pieces through their research lens, most recently around m/otherhood, birth experiences and feminism. 

On occasion of the talk Bosse & Baum will launch a new limited edition of the artwork Mummy / MUMMY by Eleanor Shipman which will be for sale. The bespoke lanyard raises awareness of the visibility and access requirements of m/others in an institution and relates to an earlier project by Shipman titled M/others in the Institution. This was a creative response by the artist to the research project Empowering Parents in Higher Education by Dr Jennifer Crane and Dr Erika Hanna at The University of Bristol, 2023/24.

Together, Shipman and McMillan will discuss the intersections between creative practice, care, and community, reflecting on how shared experiences of m/otherhood, making, and collaboration shape artistic production.
