Maternar
20 Nov, 2021 - 03 Jul, 2022
Stockholm syndrome is a psychological disorder in which a person who has been kidnapped ideologically, and even affectively, identifies with their captor. It is considered to be a survival strategy in a situation of extreme tension. The cultural, social, political and economic structures that sustain the patriarchal construction of maternity are so efficient that they submerge those who experience it in a type of Stockholm syndrome in order to ensure the acritical reproduction of the system. Romantic tales of selfless love conceal the cycle of precarization of reproductive labor. This exhibition aims to explore these dynamics.
