Faces of moms*: Experiencing motherhood visible in 17 portraits
The traveling photo exhibition Faces of moms* will showcase on November 11, 2026, at the Catholic Counseling Center for Pregnancy Issues SkF in Neu-Ulm 17 photographic portraits of mothers in different life realities. The exhibition, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the counseling center, connects contemporary portrait photography with societal reflection on care work, mental load, and structural inequality.
Portrait photography beyond idealized role models
Nicole Noller and Natalie Stanczak focus on concrete faces, bodies, biographies, and everyday experiences. The documentary-style photography does not depict motherhood as an abstract ideal but as a complex reality between closeness and exhaustion, connection and overwhelm. Each work review maintains the individuality of the portrayed and opens a nuanced access to personal experiences.
When invisible care work becomes visible
Central themes include mental load, societal expectations, gender roles, and the value of unpaid care. The photographic works make visible what often remains hidden in family life: organizational responsibility, emotional burdens, and the various challenges of lived motherhood. This creates an aesthetic experience that connects personal perception with cultural education.
Photography as societal dialogue
Faces, body postures, and photographic situations shape the exhibition atmosphere. The calm presentation in the rooms of the counseling center invites concentrated work observation, conversation, and perspective shifts. Faces of moms* combines artistic photography with socio-political analysis and offers art enthusiasts, families, and professionals new accesses to questions of care, responsibility, and social participation.
Exhibition in the anniversary year of the counseling center
The exhibition will be shown at the Catholic Counseling Center for Pregnancy and Young Families Neu-Ulm as well as at the Family Center Neu-Ulm. On November 11, the presentation in the counseling center will be open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The exhibition is aimed at everyone who wants to view motherhood in its diversity and experience photography as a form of societal insight.
Conclusion: An artistic experience with lasting impact
Visitors can expect a compelling observation of works about closeness, exhaustion, connection, and overwhelm. The 17 portraits give space to different life realities and broaden the perspective on care work and social responsibility. Those who wish to experience contemporary photography with social relevance should definitely visit this special artistic experience live in Neu-Ulm.
