Challenging the demands of reproductive labour has long been at the heart of the feminist struggle, and the basis for many arresting works by artists across the decades. This is also the case for feminist artist filmmakers. The ground-breaking exploration of women’s lived experience through a multi-generational family portrait presented in Bred and Born (Mary Pat Leece/Joanna Davis, 1983) provides a point of reflection for the video work of Cate Elwes, and recent films by Margaret Salmon and Mary Martins.
