On the eve of uncertainty
Charlotte Jarvis (UK)
The location for our tour is sunset on and in my 39-weeks-pregnant body. The tour examines the project In Posse, in which I am collaborating with scientists to make the world’s first ‘female’ semen. It also reflects on how watching my body mutate during 2020 – this most mutable of years – has been a uniquely queering experience, which has changed my perspective on my practice, politics, patriarchy and society.
