Lab36, Barcelona

‭Misschiefs‬‭ brings‬‭ to‬‭ Barcelona‬‭ the‬‭ immersive‬‭ textile‬‭ installation‬‭ Nobody‬‭ Puts‬‭ Baby‬‭ in‬‭ a‬‭ Corner‬ by‬‭ Swedish‬‭ textile artist‬‭ Maja‬‭ Michaelsdotter‬‭. The‬‭ exhibition‬‭ transforms‬‭ the‬‭ space‬‭ with‬ unique hand-tufted‬‭ sculptures‬‭,‬‭ sound,‬‭ light,‬‭ and‬‭ video‬‭,‬‭ creating‬‭ an‬‭ immersive‬‭ scenographic‬ experience.‬‭ The‬‭ installation‬‭ will‬‭ be‬‭ on‬‭ view‬‭ from‬‭ October‬‭ 14‬‭ to‬‭ 31,‬‭ 2025‬‭ ,‬‭ as‬‭ part‬‭ of‬‭ Barcelona‬ Design Week‬‭.

An Exhibition About Reproductive Rights‬ through Textile Art

‭The‬‭ installation‬‭ features‬‭ a‬‭ series‬‭ of‬‭ five‬‭ unique‬‭ hand-tufted‬‭ sculptures‬‭ made‬‭ by‬‭ Maja‬‭ Michaelsdotter‬‭.‬‭ The‬‭ sculptures‬‭ are‬‭ scaled‬‭ up‬‭ replicas‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ pills‬ most commonly used by women who choose to end a pregnancy.‬

‭Twenty-five‬‭ million‬‭ women‬‭ worldwide‬‭ have‬‭ an‬‭ unsafe‬‭ abortion‬‭ every‬‭ year.‬‭ The‬‭ consequences‬ are‬‭ permanent‬‭ disabilities‬‭ or‬‭ death.‬‭ As‬‭ abortion‬‭ is‬‭ increasingly‬‭ stigmatised,‬‭ criminalised‬‭ and‬ restricted‬‭ around‬‭ the‬‭ globe,‬‭ Nobody‬‭ Puts‬‭ Baby‬‭ in‬‭ a‬‭ Corner‬‭ aims‬‭ at‬‭ raising‬‭ awareness‬‭ about‬ women’s‬‭ reproductive‬‭ autonomy‬‭ as‬‭ basic‬‭ human‬‭ right‬‭.‬‭
