Shot: We the Mothers Photography Exhibition

SHOT: We the Mothers is a photo documentary honoring Philadelphia mothers who have lost children to gun violence. This powerful memorial by Kathy Shorr features portraits of 21 mothers taken at locations of their choice, which hold a special meaning to their child. It offers a poignant tribute to the children’s lives and the ongoing grief of those left behind.

This free public event amplifies honorees’ voices, transforming personal loss into collective remembrance, advocacy, and hope. Created in collaboration with Taylor Memorial Baptist Church, the project features a new display of previously unseen photographs, debuting across from the church in July. Presented by Mural Arts in partnership with the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS) and Taylor Memorial Baptist Church.
