Online Event: Online tour: Birth Rites Collection

The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is #BreakTheBias #iwd2022

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can #BreakTheBias.

The Birth Rites Collection is a collection of contemporary art that explores the politics and practice of childbirth. Comprising photography, sculpture, painting, artist books, print, drawing, new media and film, it is world's first, and only, collection of contemporary art dedicated to the subject of childbirth.

The Birth Rites Collection contributes to debates around conception, pregnancy and pregnancy loss, maternity, birth, postpartum mental health, reproductive technologies, reproductive health inequalities and the future of care, as well as impacting on policy making and the teaching of medicine, midwifery and art.
