INTERCESSIONS. PERFORMANCE CYCLE X TARA FOR WOMEN

During the Art Week, Art Madrid becomes an exhibition platform for national and international galleries and artists. With the intention of creating a space of expression for emerging artists, our fair has joined forces with the Tara For Women Foundation, which, in its mission to empower and strengthen talented women, becomes a collaborator of Art Madrid's renewed Parallel Program with the Performance Cycle: Intercessions X Tara For Women.

PERFORMANCE: MOTHERHOOD 4. BREASTFEEDING. TERESA BÚA

Friday - March 8 - 17:00 - Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles.

Motherhood, like menstruation, has a different time than patriarchal capitalism. Life goes by very fast and our professional goals are a priority today. Motherhood is placed on a countdown in relation to our careers. When can I afford to stop? Can I really afford to stop?

I have stopped.

Teresa Búa has begun the journey of the great pause, motherhood. The obsession with numbers: minutes, hours, days, nights, months, years... milliliters.

The breastfeeding mother shows in this piece the juxtaposition between chaos and tenderness, pause and absolute productivity, external noise and the search for inner peace, how to do and what to do...

Motherhood 4. Breastfeeding. Documentation. 2024.

This work invites us to witness the beauty of the maternal experience as a source of creativity in the intercession of life and production as interconnected forces in the human experience.

In this piece, Teresa Búa presents numerical poetry as a self-affirmation of the state of being.
