Anthropology of Motherhood’s Deaf and Disability Arts Exhibit marks a powerful milestone—ten years after We Art Here (2016),

Pittsburgh’s first disability arts exhibition, curated by Anthropology of Motherhood founder Fran Flaherty and presented during the 25th

anniversary of the ADA in partnership with the Three Rivers Arts Festival and the Kennedy Center’s LEAD conference. Building on that

groundbreaking foundation, this new exhibition advances Anthropology of Motherhood’s commitment to cultivating disability arts

in Pittsburgh by increasing awareness of disability justice and amplifying Deaf and disabled artists’ creative expressions. Featuring

accessible programming, community dialogue, and innovative interdisciplinary work, the exhibit strengthens Pittsburgh’s growing role

as a hub for disability arts. This event is generously supported by the Pittsburgh Foundation and the Opportunity Fund.

Anthropology of Motherhood is an ongoing curation of artwork and design that engages in the complex visual, material, emotional,

corporeal and lived experiences of motherhood, care-giving, parenting, nurturing and maternal labor.
