Description

Artist Statement

Birth is the most innate experience of human existence yet for centuries childbirth has also been the most dangerous undertaking of a woman’s life.
Rates of maternal mortality have dropped dramatically in Britain since the mid 18th century. However the effects of modern medicine have not been felt equally. In 2019 MBRACE UK published a Perinatal Mortality report that revealed a black woman is five times more likely to die during childbirth than a white woman.
