MUMS - A Shared Story of Motherhood
New exhibition, MUMS - A Shared Story of Motherhood opens on Saturday, 17 October at Greater Govanhill Community Canvas in Tramway.
MUMS - A Shared Story of Motherhood brings together work made by a community of new mums in workshops facilitated by Marie-Claire Lacey and nine guest artists across Glasgow, alongside two new pieces by Marie-Claire, made in her role as artist in residence.
The 9 guest artists include: Ruby Hirsch, Shirley Hottier, Brittney Shaked, Keng Keng Tang, Martha Orbach, Yasmin Al-Hadithi, Oktavia Schreiner, Alex Fulton, Rebecca Livesey-Wright
Expect a real mix: moving image works exploring maternal time, overwhelm, mental load, and the visceral experience of motherhood, large-scale collaborative psychogeographic narrated paintings, an interactive piece asking what ‘mother’ looks like, plus clay, textile installation, collage and text shaped by the stories, reflections and creative practice of a growing community of new mums and mother-artists.
The project was part of a wider artistic research project led by Marie-Claire which explored maternal experiences. So, come and see what happens when community arts, mental health and motherhood share a room.
