(IM)POSSIBLE BABY: Art, Ethics & Biology
japansociety.org/events/impos...
Imagine a future where same-sex couples can conceive children genetically related to both parents-as in Ai Hasegawa’s (Im)Possible Baby. Hasegawa, who addresses key societal dilemmas and ethical questions through her speculative design projects, was selected to represent Japan in New Worlds: Women to Watch 2024 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. At this talk, hear from Hasegawa about her unique artistic vision, as well as Ilene Gutman, Deputy Director of National and International Outreach at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Moderated by Ayako Weissman, co-chair of the National Museum of Women in the Arts Japan Committee.
The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) is the world’s first museum solely dedicated to championing women through the arts. The museum’s Women to Watch exhibition series is a collaboration between NMWA and its network of outreach committees, located in the US and Canada, as well as in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America.
New Worlds: Women to Watch 2024 is the seventh and largest installment of the museum’s Women to Watch series and features works by 28 emerging artists, including Hasegawa. Hasegawa was selected to represent Japan in this international exhibition from a shortlist prepared by the Japan Committee of NMWA and regional curator Tomoko Yabumae.
“(IM)POSSIBLE BABY: Art, Ethics & Biology,” presented at the Japan Society, is part of a series of programs initiated by the Japan Committee of NMWA in the US and Japan to promote Hasegawa, the artists who were nominated to represent Japan in New Worlds, and NMWA’s mission for gender equity in the arts.
