Exhibition - Birth Rites MU 2008
20th September 2008 to 30th November 2008 Birth unites us all but are all births equal? How free are women to give birth in a way they want and where they want? How different is childbirth for women today in comparison with their mothers and grandmothers in the Western world? This exhibition features a series of artworks produced as a result of collaborations between artists and childbirth professionals working together to explore the politics and practice of childbirth in our society.
