A New Gates Foundation exhibit is examining the many different meanings of motherhood.
Designing Motherhood, on view through December 30th is a traveling exhibition that explores the concept of motherhood from various perspectives from scientific, to emotional, to artistic.
The Designing Motherhood Project started in 2017 when design historians Michelle Millar Fisher and Amber Winick, who had met two years prior at a baby shower, began joint research on objects designed around reproduction.
The first exhibition opened in 2020 in Philadelphia and has since traveled to Boston, and now Seattle.
Visitors will see more than 200 objects featuring designs that have shaped motherhood over the past 150 years, like the emergency Plan B morning after pill, and Fisher Price baby Monitors.
