‘Picturing Motherhood Now’
The exhibition “Picturing Motherhood Now” at the Cleveland Museum of Art responds to our present day by bringing together works by a diverse array of contemporary artists who reimagine the possibilities for representing motherhood. The exhibition, showcased from Oct. 16 to March 13 in the Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibition Gallery at CMA in the University Circle area of Cleveland, draws on a range of feminisms challenging familiar archetypes of motherhood, construing it as a wide-ranging term. The artists use motherhood as a lens through which to examine contemporary social issues such as the changing definitions of family and gender, the histories and afterlives of slavery, the legacies of migration and the preservation of matrilineal Indigenous cultures. clevelandart.org
‘Don Quixote’
The Cleveland Ballet will present “Don Quixote” Oct. 15 and 16 at the Mimi Ohio Theatre in downtown Cleveland. The local ballet company will interpret the story in a less traditional way with artistic director Gladisa Guadalupe making the story unravel in a more realistic way than it has in the past. The Cleveland Ballet’s rendition of the classic story will show that we all have a little Don Quixote in us. clevelandballet.org
