Faces of moms*: Mothers between closeness, exhaustion, and social reality
The traveling exhibition "Faces of moms*" makes motherhood visible in its diversity. In the Catholic Counseling Center for Pregnancy and Young Families in Neu-Ulm, Nicole Noller and Natalie Stanczak showcase 17 photographic portraits of mothers in different life realities and with individual challenges.
Portrait photography with immediate closeness
The exhibition focuses on concrete faces, bodies, and biographies. The photographic examination opens a sensitive space between personal closeness and social observation. Each image preserves the individuality of the portrayed and invites viewers to perceive motherhood beyond idealized role models.
When invisible caregiving work becomes visible
Central themes include Mental Load, structural inequality, and caregiving work. The images tell stories of connection and overwhelmingness, of care, responsibility, and the burdens that often remain invisible in family life. Thus, the exhibition connects contemporary photography with social reflection and cultural education.
An aesthetic experience with social relevance
The calm exhibition atmosphere allows for a focused encounter with the 17 portraits. Light, facial expressions, posture, and photographic closeness shape the art experience. The exhibition presents motherhood not as an abstract ideal but as a diverse reality of life with personal, social, and political dimensions.
Exhibition in the anniversary year of the counseling center
On the occasion of the more than 25-year anniversary of the Catholic Counseling Center for Pregnancy and Young Families, "Faces of moms*" will be presented 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 those who want to engage with role models, family life, and social responsibility.
Conclusion: Photography that changes the perspective on motherhood
Visitors can expect an intense examination of work that combines documentary portrait photography with cultural education and social discussion. Anyone who wishes to experience motherhood in its full complexity and gain a lasting aesthetic experience should definitely visit "Faces of moms*" live in Neu-Ulm.
