A mother and child - it's an image that we are all familiar with, but it is does not encompass the many meanings of "Mother". Many women give the gift of mothering to those other than their children. There are families with women who are have taken the concept of mother and spread it across her entire family; sometimes a large extended family. These women are the matriarchs that keep families rooted and make sure that their history and traditions are remembered. There are women who, with the touch of a mother, work in their communities for the good and care of others.
Cultures though out time and through out the world have revered such women of strength. They valued women of wisdom who taught and cared for others and they referred to them as "Mother". This month, EBSQ celebrates these women. This show is dedicated to these often overlooked mothers in our lives and communities who deserve our respect, our love and our thanks.
