Quadra 16. Performance by Cris Moreira

About this Event

In 2008, Cris Moreira gave birth to twins and lost one of her children, Francisco, at just two days old. In this lecture-performance, the Brazilian artist uses documentary and audiovisual devices to revisit her grief and address the invisibility of pain in a society that treats pregnancy as public but the loss of a child as private. Questioning who is willing to listen to a mother speak about death, the work broadens the discussion on motherhood and family and the loneliness surrounding parental grief.
