Faces of moms*: Making mothers visible in Neu-Ulm

The traveling exhibition Faces of moms* offers an intense look at motherhood beyond idealized roles. At the Catholic Counseling Center for Pregnancy and Young Families in Neu-Ulm, visitors encounter 17 photographic portraits that make visible the different realities, bodies, biographies, and challenges of mothers.

Portrait photography between closeness and exhaustion

Nicole Noller and Natalie Stanczak focus the examination of the works on concrete experiences: connection and overwhelm, caregiving and exhaustion, personal strength and societal pressure. The documentary-style photography preserves the individual expression of the subjects and connects aesthetic experience with social observation.

When mental load becomes visible

The center of the exhibition highlights mental load, structural inequality, and often invisible caregiving work. Motherhood does not appear as an abstract ideal but as a diverse reality. The photographs invite reflection on care work, gender roles, responsibility, and social participation.

Photography as cultural education

Faces, postures, and photographic situations unfold an immediate presence in the calm exhibition atmosphere. The exhibition connects contemporary portrait photography with cultural education and creates space for a concentrated engagement with family forms and social conditions.

An art experience with social relevance

On the occasion of the more than 25th anniversary of the Catholic Counseling Center for Pregnancy and Young Families, Faces of moms* will be exhibited both at the counseling center at Johannesplatz 2 and at the Family Center Neu-Ulm. The exhibition is aimed at art enthusiasts, families, professionals, and all people who wish to consider motherhood in a nuanced way.

Conclusion: An exhibition that changes perspective

The 17 portraits make visible what often remains hidden in the daily lives of many families. Visitors can expect an emotional examination of works that combines photography with social reflection. Anyone who wants to experience motherhood in all its complexity and engage with a sustainable aesthetic experience should definitely visit this exhibition in Neu-Ulm live.
