How and why, will and can humans make humans in the future? And what role do biology, culture and social patterns play in this, as well as technology, economics and power?
Being born is for now a given for every human being, just like death. Around the reproduction of life, entrenched systems have formed that sometimes seem immutable, but need not be. With Reproduction Otherwise, MU zooms in on radical scenarios and creative speculations on the changing practices and visions around human reproduction in the 21st century.
Based on the work of seven international designers/artists—some working intimately with scientists, others working from a queer perspective, or a combination of both— MU questions the complex, mutating thinking and doing surrounding human reproduction. In doing so, we do not 'as usual’ ask the powers that be—politics, religion, medics— to address this, but want to involve everyone.
