Join us on May 21 at 4pm for a conversation with researchers and curators Carolina Filippini and Diana Iturralde, who will discuss the exhibition’s works through the lens of reproductive rights in Brazil. In this dialogue, they invite the audience to consider how contemporary art reveals the social, political, and embodied dimensions of reproductive autonomy, and how these visual narratives intersect with broader debates on care, control, and gendered experience. The program will be followed by an audience Q&A.

The discussion will be moderated by the curators for 'the uterus is also a fist' Talita Trizoli and Renata Freitas
