In conjunction with our current exhibition, Designing Motherhood, join HCCC and celebrated authors Maggie Shannon and Angela Garbes for a special book release for the limited-edition run of EXTREME PAIN, EXTREME JOY and a conversation on the intersections of motherhood, caregiving, labor, and art. This event kicks off a collection of programs surrounding the Designing Motherhood exhibition, for which Mother Tongue has acted as a Houston community partner. The evening will offer insight into powerful narratives of birth and the evolving conversations around how motherhood is portrayed and understood through art and media. Enjoy complimentary cocktails and a book signing! Mother Tongue, the magazine known for disrupting the motherhood media landscape, expands into book publishing with the release of its first book, EXTREME PAIN, EXTREME JOY. Shannon’s award-winning photo series began as documentation of midwife-led home births after much of the US went into lockdown in early March, 2020. This body of work has been recontextualized in book form, complete with a foreword by renowned author Angela Garbes (Essential Labor, Like a Mother), an artist Q&A with critic Gem Fletcher, and a slew of never-before-seen images that together create a timeless meditation on this fundamental human experience.

It&#39;s super convenient to scan the code directly for admission! As an official NASA attraction, this place completely exceeded expectations-real rockets and lunar modules are close at hand, and the experience of touching moon rocks is so shocking! The guided car project is highly recommended. Professional tour guides reveal the secrets of the astronaut training center and the mission control room, and even children are fascinated by it. The interactive area is super interesting, and the simulated space capsule operation and gravity experience make the whole family play and don&#39;t want to leave. The souvenir shop has a lot of exclusive aerospace peripherals at reasonable prices. The route design of the venue is scientific, and the essence can be visited in half a day. It is a must-visit for technology fans and parent-child tours! The barrier-free facilities are complete throughout the journey, and the staff are super enthusiastic. Such a high-value aerospace science base is definitely worth a second visit!
