The Last Taboo of Motherhood?
Immerse yourself in three captivating plays that illuminate a historically overlooked area of women’s health. These newly commissioned audio plays by Courtney Conrad, Bryony Kimmings and Sara Shaarawi break the pervasive culture of silence around maternal mental health and probe vital questions about women’s experiences.
The project draws on groundbreaking new research led by Professor Hilary Marland, with Dr Kelly Couzens and Dr Fabiola Creed, and is informed by a variety of historical sources, including first hand testimonies from and by women in twentieth-century Britain.

Fuel presents Belongingness: The Film
Join scientist Dr. Sandra Romero-Hidalgo, performance artist Raquel André and National Arts Partnership Manager at the Wellcome Trust, David Cahill Roots as they discuss making Belongingness – a global conversation about how we identify with each other and what they might tell us about ourselves.
