About this Event
AIGA NY and the Museum of Arts and Design present a panel inspired by Designing Motherhood: Things that Make and Break Our Births.
Moderated by Alexandra Lange, design critic and author, the discussion features Meg Crane, inventor of the home pregnancy test, Melissa Cullens, founder of Charette, and Christa May, designer and advocate. Together, they will explore how design has shaped and continues to shape experiences of (in)fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
From medical tools and graphic campaigns to everyday products, this conversation invites graphic and product designers alike to consider their role in shaping access, dignity, and cultural narratives around reproductive health.
Designing Motherhood: Things that Make and Break Our Births is generously sponsored by Ruth Ann Harnisch and the Harnisch Foundation.
Major support for Designing Motherhood has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage and the GrahamFoundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.
