Gynopia and the Spasm Exhibition

Due to the need for references and in order to share the experience of her hysterectomy, Laia Arqueros Claramunt presents La Gynopia y el espasmo, a project where she directly explores what it means to be a hysterectomized woman in contemporary society. All this allows her to talk about the identity, artistic and symbolic crisis, as well as about the invisibilization, while questioning the symbolism and historical-patriarchal narratives of the uterus: its only reproductive attribution and obstetric violence with productivist purposes. Thus, the artist proposes a reappropriation of the organs as an act of emancipation and a reformulation of the symbolic attributes through imposed narratives.
