‘Mother Weaver,’ a film directed by Lily Cole for The Forgotten Her Story, tells the story of renowned art collector Ursula Hauser and delves into themes of maternal absence or presence, birth and death through the lens of the female artists that Hauser has championed throughout her life. Through the lens of these female artists, and in discussion with Ursula’s daughter Manuela, ‘Mother Weaver’ explores themes of maternal absence or presence, birth and death. The film was created to celebrate the exhibition, ‘The Mother and The Weaver’ at London’s Foundling Museum, once home to 25,000 displaced and abandoned children across several centuries. Watch the film and discover more about Ursula Hauser and the artists in her collection on The Forgotten Her Story’s website ⬇
