Ep.297 Catrin Osborne - Ministry of Arts Podcast
Episode 297
Sunday, 7 December, 2025

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Catrin Osborne (@CatrinOsborne) Catrin Osborne is a multidisciplinary artist and photographer whose work explores identity, femininity and the shifting nature of the female body. Known for her intimate portraiture and collaborative approach, Osborne focuses on themes often overlooked in mainstream visual culture, giving voice to women’s lived experiences. Her projects combine documentary clarity with a gentle poetic sensibility, resulting in images that feel both grounded and emotionally resonant. Osborne frequently works with her subjects over long periods, allowing trust and authenticity to guide her creative process. Her latest book, A Portrait of the Menopause, continues this commitment to honest representation. Through photographs and personal testimonies, Osborne highlights the varied realities of menopause—its challenges, its freedoms and its profound physical and emotional transitions. The book provides a platform for women to share their stories, reframing menopause as a powerful, multifaceted stage of life rather than a taboo. Overall, Osborne’s work contributes meaningfully to contemporary conversations about womanhood, aging and visibility.
