ART AND CREATIVE PROJECTS
01 Unbearable
“Unbearable” is a series that attempts to queer so-called “reproductive” organs and, by embodying the words of the author Yuknavitch, free them from their services of breeding. “Unbearable” sets loose an unruly and technologically mediated imagination to explore how these organs could mutate and transform beyond reproductive narratives and the storie history has attached to them. Inspired by global issues concerning reproductive justice an their artist’s own queer identity, “Unbearable” hopes to reclaim biological materiality and reject biological determinism.
