    Maternity images are prevalent in Africa wherever visual arts are valued, from prehistoric rock art sites, ancient Egypt, and Ethiopian Christianity to contemporary forms. Found in varied materials - prevalent wood, terra cotta and metal sculpture, also in ivory, stone, gold-leaf, bead work, and painted - images mothers and children are used by everyone, from commoners to kings. This art enlivens virtually every type of object, especially altars and shrines, situated at the juncture of this world and the supernatural. Defining maternity as simultaneously biological and cultural, the author moves from obvious notions of fertility, nurture and increase to the importance of maternity in thought, ritual action and worldview, when community transformation and regeneration are paramount. Motherhood as concept and metaphor embodies a rich complex of ideas vital in the perpetuation of human society. Art invoking this archetypal theme have been used as instruments in a 'politics of maternity' from earliest times until the present. Idealizing and glorifying maternity for much of history, recent arts see forms of protest when women and children are at risk

    "We present approximately 100 objects in this book. The systematic classifcation into several chapters was organized according to the different positions of the mother and child and to the materials used. We have deliberately chosen black-and-white photographs, since we believe that this further emphasises the sculptural quality of the objects." —Seite 5

    The patriarchal construction of maternity is held by such efficient cultural, social, political and economical structures that they submerge the ones who experiment it into a sort of Stockholm Syndrome. In this way, the patriarchy ensures its survival and allows for an acritic reproduction of its system. Mothering. Between Stockholm Syndrome and Acts of Production strives to question these dynamics. This publication and the homonymous exhibition look towards thinking of maternity as a concept disputed in many fronts; through this perspective, we aim to propose a concept of mothering as an act of caring and nurturing, beyond a biological or ontological condition.. "Historically, the art that represents motherhood has been made under the bias of the male gaze. The women who appear within it tend to be archetypes of love, sacrifice, dedication, fertility and sometimes madness. Of course, there are cases of women artists who have been a forceful presence since the sixties, not only as mothers but also by placing motherhood within their practice to produce another kind of visibility. Louise Bourgeois, Lea Lublin, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Mary Kelly and the group Polvo de Gallina Negra, to name but a few, began to open the way, hand in-hand with feminism, problematising representations of the domestic and questioning the definitions of artistic productivity by women." -Page 121
