Greater Govanhill presents MUMS - A Shared Story of Motherhood, brings together work made by a community of new mums in workshops facilitated by Marie-Claire Lacey and 9 guest artists across Glasgow, alongside two new pieces by Marie-Claire, made in her role as artist in residence.
The exhibition will show work by Marie-Claire alongside work made by the community of new mums in collaboration with the 9 guest artists who are:

Shirley Hottier
Brittney Shaked
Keng Keng Tang
Martha Orbach
Yasmin Al-Hadithi

Highlights include works exploring maternal time, overwhelm, mental load, and the visceral experience of motherhood. It asks what ‘mother’ looks like and proudly shares work shaped by the stories, reflections and creative practice of a growing community of new mums and mother-artists.
The exhibition is open on a Sunday, Wednesday Thursday, and Friday from 11:00 – 17:00.
