The “audio body” has landed at the Frauenmuseum Hittisau in Western Austria. It invites you to listen to pregnant women talking about being pregnant and really sparks your imagination. Questions such as Do you speak to the creature growing inside of you? or Are there special dreams you would like to share? are explored. It is part of the exhibition “birth culture: giving birth and being born”, which is running from July 5th, 2020 until October 31st, 2021.
Organized by the International Association of Women’s Museums, the exhibition will travel to Ukraine, Italy and Spain. You can read more about the audio body on gloriamagnifico.com.

The focus of the exhibition will be the physicality of women who, for nine months, live their life for another life, and so necessarily drastically change their relationship to the world during this period.
Who
The exhibition is intended for women in childbearing age, expecting fathers and mothers, siblings, grandparents, as well as all people who are interested in a discussion of identy and gender.
Where
We’re designing the show initially for an art and culture space, but the exhibition will be traveling to public cultural institutions such as museums as well as gynaecological conferences and birthing centres.
