Round table – “Speaking to Transform: Women and Invisibilized Suffering”
Activity organized in the context of the exhibition Allò que no s’anomena. Entre les expectatives i el patiment
February 19 – Roca Umbert Fàbrica de les Arts
Within the framework of the exhibition Allò que no s’anomena. Entre les expectatives i el patiment, we open a space for dialogue and exchange between art and the fields of health sciences, care, and emotional support.
The conversation will bring together the artists Montse Morcate and Rebeca Pardo, featured in the exhibition with the works F.I.V and Baby is born, baby is here and A contrafil, respectively. These works address and reclaim forms of pain and suffering linked to fertility processes, obstetric violence, and gender biases in the identification of high abilities in women.
They will be joined by Mònica Cortés, a psychologist specialized in high abilities, and Susana Rodríguez, a midwife at Hospital del Mar, to explore how creative processes move beyond the boundaries of art and connect with professional practices. From diverse yet complementary perspectives, the discussion will address how art can generate knowledge, open up questions, and establish connections and synergies with other disciplines, while engaging with the ways in which often invisibilized experiences are constructed, lived, and narrated.
The activity invites the public to take part in a space for critical reflection and exchange, where diverse disciplines engage in dialogue to imagine new forms of support, understanding, and collective care.
