Don’t Worry, I’ll only show you the good parts

Ottawa City Hall Art Gallery

March 13 – June 1, 2025

Don’t Worry, I’ll Only Show You the Good Parts delves into the intricate conversations surrounding the multifaceted realities, ambitions and challenges faced by a local group of Mothers/Artists. In this exhibition, the 44.4 Mother/Artist Collective invites us into an intimate tension within their daily lives: art-making and caregiving. Through their work, Mothers/Artists of the 44.4 Collective are piecing together time, space, resources and cognitive labour to create art, while at the same time fulfilling the repetitive, cyclical and often mundane caregiving tasks that weave through the lives of their children, families and their communities.
