About this event

The Institute for Media and Creative Industries (IMCI) and the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) invite you to this 'Speaker Series on Gestation and Storytelling'.

This event is part of the IAS annual theme for 2023-24, 'Gestation: Bodies, Technologies, Ecologies, Justice'.

During this round of conversations, three women share their experience of how stories about gestation, reproduction, birth, and parenting are transmitted through generations and communities, framing the way people deal with carrying and caring for life. They will also discuss how mainstream channels proliferate stories about gestation that help (or not) the situation at the community level.

Speakers will be Mpume Gumede from South Africa, Lindsay Barnes from India, and Åsa Virdi Kroik from Sweden.
