My Obvious Presence

Should I give up everything once again? A thought formulated in my head on one autumn day when I learned that I was again pregnant. The known and the unpredictable challenges of my pregnancy were the reasons, why I started to think as curator about the shifts of directions on the discourse on pregnancy. Our current social environment created a political standard out of ultra-conservative, patriarchal phrases connected to motherhood, therefore giving a special currency to the topic.

The Unseen

THE UNSEEN is a community-first project started by RANKIN CREATIVE to utilise the platforms and voice of the group to those who have been unfairly de-platformed online. THE UNSEEN has bought together hundreds of people, spanning a huge range of identities and experiences of becoming UNSEEN across multiple platforms. We aim to showcase the breadth and human consequences of unfair censorship practices and move forward the discussion on solutions in a way that emphasises the voices of those affected.

On view June 16th to 24th, 2022.
