m’Other – We are Artists, we became mothers… …and we are still artists

m’Other Art at Charnwood Museum

This is a new and unique interventional exhibition to celebrate artist mothers. The project has been led by a local artist curator Khyati Koria-Green. In 2022 she received an Arts Council ‘Developing Your Creative Practice’ grant. She used this to further research the role of an independent curator with particular focus on how other Mother Artists continue their practice. We are all delighted that her exhibition has been supported by the Leicestershire County Council Museum Collections Team and is being hosted at Charnwood Museum.

Due to the success of this exhibition, local people are now invited to get involved, not just as visitors, but as artists themselves. Read a bit more to find out how…
