A durational artwork celebrating the multitude of experiences around birth, fertility and pregnancy.

Hundreds of participants will take the stage, one after another, across multiple hours to share their testimony as an act of courage, rebellion and empowerment in civic space.

This deeply human performance celebrates all facets of pregnancy and birth. It is a primal scream, a moment of reflection, an occasion for joy and a call to arms at the laws attempting to curb bodily autonomy and reproductive rights.

UNWOMAN (the protest) turns the spotlight on all kinds of people. Those with children and without. Those who wanted them and couldn’t. Those who didn’t want them so didn’t. Those who forgot.

Be a part of an individually empowering experience and collective encounter. Stay for as long or as little as you want.

Presented by Melbourne Fringe.
