biolab winter 21/22 (covid still here)
some thoughts and slow ideas
.
start ::: why i'm here
biology was my little big "trauma" on high school. it was the class that i needed to memorize a lot of names - and my memory is quite bad. this weird educational dynamic made me have super bad grades, and because of that i was always afraid of failing the year. for 3 years i was waiting "the call" in december about the professors decision: "ok you didn't have grade enough in biology, but you are a good student. you can continue your studies and don't need to repeat this year ".
my mom is pedagogue, my father is a chemical engineer really into bacterias, and the school was one of the most expensive schools in my city (probably in brazil too). huge privilege. it was a lot of emotional pressure and somehow this insecurity follows me until nowadays. the fear of not being enough, the fear of failing.
but the biology book was my favorite one. it wasn't in a4 format, good quality paper, unique smell, heavy and with a lot of beautiful images.
i decided to take this class to explore what i was always curious in biology: the experimentation, the aesthetics, the connection of thoughts. it's not just a random class, it's personal.

_the question
could the maternal bond be fabricated?
maternal bond, biological clock, unconditional love are terms inherently attached to parenthood, especially when talking about the mother-child relationship. with this project we question how much the weight of its terms' meanings is on real feelings - and this almost magical environment created around the idea of motherhood - and how much it is actually related to society laws and social pressure.
_description
through this project we want to document the growing of vina garcia morais, and reflect about this “caring system” that is always expected on us (women). we sign the "family contract" to care, feed, protect and love, putting our efforts to keep them alive and support them in their own journeys.
