The Call Me Mother Experience
November 5, 2026
The upEND Team will be attending this event that centers on reproductive justice and highlights local organizers in Houston. If you see us there, say hi!
The Call Me Mother Experience (CMME) is an art and awareness initiative that tells the stories behind the Black maternal health crisis. Black women in Harris County face the nation’s highest pregnancy-related death rate and are nearly four times more likely to die than white women. CMME brings together artists to amplify these stories, educate audiences, and champion self-advocacy through art.

Sparked by a poem written by Founder, Curator, and Lead Artist Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton during her miscarriage, this exhibit features new art from artists connected to the issue and collects local stories through pop-up art activations with community members. CMME combines video interviews, short films, visual art, and community-made pieces to create an immersive art installation shared through museums, service organizations, and faith-centered spaces.
Be the first to see these exciting works as you enjoy drinks and light bites.
This exhibition is organized by the Houston Community Land Trust in collaboration with Project Row Houses and the Third Ward Cultural District.
