Birmingham
Mothers Who Make is an international grassroots movement, dedicated to supporting the dual role of mothers and maker/artist/creative.
Stryx is now a Birmingham Hub that strives to connect and support local mothers, birth-givers, and care-givers who are also creators through various means such as peer support meetings, workshops, events, discussions, artist talks, exhibitions, and more. The hub is located at Stryx, managed by two female artists and mothers committed to making space for local mother/nonbinary parent creatives.
Who can participate?
All kinds of makers, whether professional or passionate, including writers, painters, performers, filmmakers, musicians, technicians, producers, bakers, crafters, taxidermists, academics, and more.
Every type of mother/nonbinary parent is welcomed, be it biological, adoptive, step, surrogate, foster, bereaved, grand, great-grand, or soon-to-be. We encourage a diverse range of people to engage in the unfolding MWM conversations, spanning across generations and art forms.
Children of any age are also welcome, ensuring that your dual role as a mother and maker is equally valued at all our events.
