Birth.art / by Claudia Phares

Arlene Texta Queen’s Chaos Happens All The Time
 

Birth is probably the least explored concept in the art world. Unlike the concepts of  life and death, taboo is still strongly associated with birth. Twelve artists (including one man) used video, drawing, photographs, sculpture, & painting to interpret their experience with birth and motherhood. I attended the opening on June 14th and I couldn’t help noticing the strong feminine energy. I felt a sense of empowerment and fascination at the exhibition. ‘Birth.Art’ was curated by Tilly Morris and her friend, Jasmine Salomon, a midwifery student. The show runs until June 30th.
