Panel Discussion: Rachel Cox, Rose Marie Cromwell, and Michelle Millar Fisher

The panel features photographers Rachel Cox and Rose Marie Cromwell, whose work appears in MOTHER TIME, alongside Dr. Michelle Millar Fisher. Cox works primarily in image-based media and explores reproduction, mothering, and personal autonomy; Cromwell is a Seattle-born, Miami-based photographer and artist; Fisher is an author and curator whose work includes Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births.

Expect a thoughtful gallery-centered conversation about how photographs shape memory, intimacy, and caregiving. The panel connects Cox’s and Cromwell’s overlapping approaches to closeness—emotional, physical, and spatial—with Fisher’s broader perspective on motherhood, design, power, and the material world.

This is a chance to hear directly from the artists and a leading curator about the ideas behind MOTHER TIME at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. For Omaha visitors interested in contemporary photography, feminist art, or the politics of family and care, the panel offers context that can deepen the experience of the exhibition.
