Molly Gochman is an artist and activist deeply engaged in social practice, focused on activating spaces for profound collective experiences.

Through these mediums, she often challenges and subverts conventional material boundaries to foster interaction, play, exploration, and meaningful dialogue. Molly frequently explores concepts encompassing human connection, environment, and community.

Her practice continues to evolve with a desire to actively engage participants, inspire meaningful dialogues, find commonality, and discover shared human experiences. Her recent work includes the permanent installation of three Monuments to Motherhood sculptures at Medical District Park in Memphis, Tennessee. Additionally, a separate sculpture from the series is currently featured in a year-long exhibition at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, which began in May 2025.
