BAM50 Team visit North-East Community Exhibition

Members of the BAM50 Team Ann Oakley, Charlotte Faircloth, and Kate Errington visited South Shields Museum and Art Gallery to see the new exhibition and play space, Let’s Play: Under 7s Activities & the Experience of Being a Mam.

Developed in collaboration with local women from Bright Futures South Shields, the exhibition explores themes of mothers and work. Items from Ann’s archive, on loan from the British Library, were selected by local mothers to be part of the exhibition. Following a tour of the space, the team sat down with mothers from the Bright Futures group to talk about their experiences of young motherhood in the North-East and hopes for the future.

Thank you to North East Museums for inviting us to this very special event.
