This lecture-performance – an interdisciplinary performance artwork by artist Boryana Rossa –  developed in close exchange with biologist Dr. Heidi Hehnly speculates on how the economics of surrogacy, the development of artificial wombs, and technological possibilities such as in-vitro fertilization, and cloning may shape our society and understanding of the role of the caregiver. Through visual and textual narratives performed live by the artist this work examines the parallels between reproduction myths of varieties of cultures, natural reproductive phenomena, and the studied contemporary reproductive biotechnologies. The goal of this ongoing research is to expose the connection between mythology and biotechnologies that may not be immediately apparent, and to point to their emerging similarities, revealing shared archetypes of conception, pregnancy and care.
