An exhibition and events programme promoting infant feeding in public, responding to the national tour of a multimedia artwork and infant feeding chair.
The Milky Way is part of a touring programme for Feed – an arts-based project that promotes inclusive, sustainable approaches to infant feeding and public space. Core to The Milky Way is Feeding Chair, a multimedia artwork and infant feeding chair which has travelled to places including Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham, Scarborough, Cardiff. Its visit to Glasgow is the only Scottish stop on the tour.
This collaborative artwork has generated different partnerships and responses with each cultural venue it has visited, and in GoMA it has resulted in an events programme, a publication with creative group Mammas Write, and a new commission with the artist Jessica Ramm.
