Foetus, is an un-seen and highly innovative concept of new media live art where humanity and technologies are interlaced through the wonder of pregnancy.
The project focuses on the state of interdependency between the mother and the child in the foetal stage, in which the fetus develops and reacts to the outside world through the mother, and subsequently, on the autonomy of a physiologically structured child, which coincides with the final creation.
The performance shows how a mood can be reflected on the body actions and how these generate impulses and responses to another body inside it, a set of elements in continuous development that influence and overlap one another, creating a powerful and creative energy.
Sharon Tugwell
'Breastfeeding Selfies'
PhD researcher Sharon Tugwell presents part of her current research on Breastfeeding Selfies
She will consider the intersection of motherhood and digital culture through an exploration of the significance of breastfeeding selfies. In what ways, and to what effect, do these images communicate and articulate a specifically maternal experience and might we consider the emergence of this cultural archive of breastfeeding to have a disruptive radical potential?
To compliment Leanne Pearce’s first London exhibition Breastfeed (1 March - 1 April), Leyden Gallery is hosting a series of gallery talks, performances, and panel discussions running throughout the course of the exhibition during March curated by Adriana Cerne. These events are referred to as ‘feeds’ that openly lean towards a feminist undertaking with guests/panellists who will address the maternal & breastfeeding as a subject pertinent to this moment; one that opens the world of discussion and larger debate.
