The International Museum of Women Wants to Make a Mama’s Work More Visible

The IMOW have launched its Mama’s Work gallery

As another installment of its Motherhood Around the Globe series, the International Museum of Women have launched the Mama’s Work gallery.

The International Museum of Women is an online gallery that celebrates all things woman and with this series, calls attention to the important role mothers play all over the world. The idea behind the Mama’s Work gallery is that “at any moment, mothers across the world are telling each other stories.”

And if you happen to be in San Francisco this weekend, you can check out a pop-up photography exhibit Making Mothers Visible, another project of the IMOW.

Take a look through the beautiful photographs and paintings that make up the gallery. Here’s one fine example:

The ever-innovative International Museum of Women is the online destination for art, stories and ideas that celebrate women around the world. Today it debuted its Motherhood Around the Globe exhibit with a stunning selection of paintings and photographs.

The IMOW aims to inspire a global conversation about mothers’ lives and rights in the 21st century and to boost awareness on issues such as improving maternal health worldwide. Maternal health is a good indicator of how a culture is doing overall and it’s a big part of the UN’s millennium development goals.
