3. Florence Lam “Nvwa and her Lost Child” 2024-01-14 ( 8:00 PM )

Performance artist Florence Lam's “Nvwa and her Lost Child” is the first step of a long-term project. By connecting the mythological origin of the Goddess of Nvwa’s creation of man with the "loneliness" she herself experienced during an abortion five years ago, the artist seeks to understand the omnipotent emotions of mythological imaginings and beliefs about human's origin and demise, and to transform them through actions and material processes, in order to contemplate the motivations and meanings of female reproductive power, both on a biological and a spiritual level.
