My Mother Before Me

My Mother Before Me is a unique crowdsourced project that invites participants to submit photographs of their mothers with one caveat: these photographs must have been taken before project participants were born. The project was created for the new film 20th Century Women that centers on mothers and mother-figures. On this website, visitors can browse an interactive gallery of photographs organized by decade. When adding images, participants may select how much information to include about their mothers. While some include only their mother's first name, others provide thoughtful narrative about who their mothers were and who they became. So far, participants have submitted photographs from school dances, weddings, vacations, college graduations, and the more candid everyday moments. Interested readers are encouraged to share their own stories and photographs.
