Faces of moms*: 17 portraits about motherhood, care work and social reality
The Wanderphoto exhibition Faces of moms* will show 17 photographic portraits of mothers in different life realities on November 10, 2026, at the Catholic Counseling Center for Pregnancy Questions SkF in Neu-Ulm. On the occasion of the more than 25th anniversary of the counseling center, an intense art experience about closeness, exhaustion, connection, and overwhelm is created.
Portrait photography beyond idealized role images
Nicole Noller and Natalie Stanczak focus on concrete bodies, biographies, and everyday experiences. The documentary-style photography makes motherhood visible not as an abstract ideal, but as a multifaceted reality of life. Faces, body postures, and photographic situations preserve the individuality of the portrayed and allow for a concentrated viewing of the work.
When invisible care work becomes visible
The focus is on mental load, structural inequality, and the often underestimated care work. The exhibition questions social expectations, gender roles, and the value of unpaid care. Especially in the quiet spaces of the counseling center, the images unfold an immediate social and emotional presence.
Photography as cultural education
Faces of moms* connects contemporary portrait photography with socio-political reflection. The exhibition atmosphere creates space for aesthetic experience, conversation, and perspective changes. Art enthusiasts, families, professionals, and all people interested in social issues encounter an exhibition that connects personal stories with cultural education.
An art experience with social relevance
The exhibition will be presented in the rooms of the Catholic Counseling Center for Pregnancy and Young Families Neu-Ulm as well as in the Family Center Neu-Ulm. The curation juxtaposes different experiences and invites a consideration of motherhood without hasty judgment.
Conclusion: A visit that changes perspectives
Visitors can expect a touching examination of the work, in which photography becomes a form of social insight. Those who engage with the faces, stories, and nuances of this exhibition experience a lasting art experience about care, responsibility, and human diversity. A visit to Neu-Ulm enriches the aesthetic experience and opens up new perspectives on lived motherhood.
