The National Gallery of Modern Art, Bengaluru, has opened ‘One Mother, Many Mother Tongues’, an international exhibition tracing 4,500 years of artistic interpretations of the mother across cultures and civilisations. The opening was announced by the institution on 20 August 2026.
The exhibition’s stated scope spans a long period of art history and brings together interpretations from different cultural and civilisational contexts.

According to the opening notice, the exhibition brings together diverse voices in clay. The available announcement does not identify the participating artists, the number of works, or the specific regions and periods represented in the presentation.
The exhibition is being held at the National Gallery of Modern Art, Bengaluru. The institution’s announcement describes the event as international, but does not list additional venues or provide a closing date.
‘One Mother, Many Mother Tongues’ opened to the public on 20 August 2026. Further details about the exhibition’s artists, works, programme and duration were not included in the source announcement.
