Wow, I love this Sophie, thank you. Also... It’s kind of bizarre how much our obsessions overlap. I was introduced to you because of a project I’m doing about queer mycology buuuut the project I did before that is called womb with a view. It’s an interactive immersive performance set in a giant womb where the audience (the eggs) are guided from conception to birth through the medium of silly (song, cabaret and karaoke sung through the umbilical cord microphone) I set out to ‘queer’ our conception of wombs/childbirth/pregnancy and celebrate the eggs agency, retelling this well worn narrative. I did a lot of research and read this amazing article you’ve attached. Xxx Pregnancy is incredibly queer!! Can’t believe it’s been adopted as the poster child of heteronormativity
