Our Other Mother at Godalming Museum
We are delighted to have the opportunity to present our own versions of the Our Other Mother exhibition at Godalming Museum from Wednesday 3rd May to Sunday 11th June.
The Our Other Mother campaign was developed in response to climate change, and seeks a brighter, safer future for all our children. This stunning exhibition highlights the work of Godalming’s own residents alongside that of professional artists and illustrators. The works express how people feel about Planet Earth as our other Mother.
Artwork will be presented on themes related to the environment, the natural world and climate change. Contributors include: ArtVenture, Earthlings Forest School, Gosden House School, Moss Lane School, St. Marks and All Saints School, as well as members of What Next and the general public.
