To Catch A Baby: The Community Midwives of Kingston

an art exhibition
May 1-18th, 2008
Opening celebration: Monday May 5th, 5-8pm, 2008
The Artel Arts Accommodation & Venue

In this exhibition, facilitated by Greg Tilson, inspired by the Community Midwives of Kingston, and created by Lisa Visser, the recent history of the Midwives practicing in Kingston was researched over several months, a process which included a series of conversations in the community and with the Midwives. The resultant project reflects a diverse range of media (video, textiles and bookworks) that is the artist’s creative reflection on a group of women who inspire strength and humility. The Community Midwives of Kingston are a respected and established group of midwives that employs some of the pioneers for the regulation and education of Midwives. The exhibition will be on display from May 3rd - 18th, 2008, with an opening celebration on International Midwives Day, May 5th.

The Community Midwives of Kingston are Registered Midwives, with the College of Midwives of Ontario, the governing body for Midwifery in Ontario, and are also members of the Association of Ontario Midwives. The Community Midwives of Kingston have eight practicing Midwives, and are located at The Woolen Mill, 4 Cataraqui Street, Kingston.
