“A Whisk In Your Head” (2018) is a audio installation developed for the midwifery staff room in collaboration with Loes Bogers and healthcare activist and organiser Toyin Adeyinka. The work address the healthcare system from the perspective of its workers through a audio work developed with and for working midwives in the form of a relaxation exercise. The relaxation exercise is based on midwives’ testimonies of their embodied experiences of midwifery work and its location in the body.
Showcased at Lewisham maternity ward midwife well-being days in 2018 and 2019.
The project was kindly supported by the AHRC, Lewisham Maternity Ward and Lewisham Maternity Voices Partnership.
