Our Mothers Ourselves
Frederick Layton Gallery, MIAD, Milwaukee WI
September 18 - December 13, 2025
Opening Reception and Curator Walk Through: September 18, 2025
Curated by Ellen Konar and Adrienne Defendi, Our Mothers Ourselves invites us to explore the maternal influences in our lives. Featuring the work of twelve artists from diverse backgrounds, generations, and experiences, who each reflect on how their mothers and maternal figures shaped who they are. Ellen Konar and Steve Goldband's project, By Her Hand, pays homage to Ellen’s mother Ida’s quiet courage and resilience following six years of Nazi terror. From the meager remains of her past – a hidden remnant of charmeuse fabric, family candlesticks, and three surviving siblings – she forged a generative life and family in America. Her forewarning: we rarely know what we can endure ... and hopefully, never will.
