This time the exhibition can be viewed at a location that is related to the theme of the exhibition in the Royal Free Hospital , Hampstead , London. The exhibition is public but this time it is aimed specifically at the hospital's employees and other external staff. Exhibition location is in the Chapel space, Lower Ground Floor of the hospital
‘Vilomah’ [vee-lo-mah] is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘against the natural order’. It is used to describe a parent who has lost a child; for which there is no word in the English language. Curator Alice Mary Williamson
The exhibition encompasses all forms of pregnancy/baby loss – infant loss, neonatal loss, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, abortion, ectopic pregnancy, medical & age-related infertility.
As well as a creative & expressive outlet for a difficult subject, this exhibition aims to bring awareness and shed light on the reality of how these losses are experienced across society, culture & history.
Artists are from across the world, offering works from a variety of disciplines, including painting, photography, digital art, textile, prose, poetry, video/film, multi-sensory media.
