After so much time spent in painful labor, to arrive at once at the summit of my desires was the most gratifying consummation of my toils.
— Frankenstein, or, the Modern Prometheus, 1818, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Advances in technology and genetic engineering have made inevitable a future in which the conception, gestation, and birth of human life will be subcontracted away from actual humans. MATERNITY LEAVE: NONE OF WOMEN BORN questions what it means to be of women born, when life actually begins, and explores structures that might assume the role of “mother” as society progresses.
MATERNITY LEAVE: NONE OF WOMEN BORN is presented by Nicodim in collaboration with the Green Family Art Foundation.
