This Saturday from 3 – 5 pm, Through the Flower will host the first discussion in our new educational programming series, Childbirth in Belen, featuring Belen resident Rosa Sisneros, Lactation Peer Counselor and Valencia County Chapter Chair of the New Mexico Breastfeeding Task Force and Melissa Marie Lopez, Director of the New Mexico Doula Association of Las Cruces. The discussion will consider the pandemic’s effect on quality of labor and delivery care available to southern and central New Mexico residents, posing questions like: How has limited delivery room attendance affected women and pregnant people’s quality of care during delivery? Join us for an impactful afternoon.
Discussions on birthcare in New Mexico will continue into next year as part of the Childbirth in New Mexico: Discussions on Birthcare in the Land of Enchantment Series with virtual and in-person educational events being offered monthly. Check Through the Flower’s website, Facebook, and Instagram to stay up-to-date on future programming events.
“Judy Chicago; Childbirth in America” at Through the Flower Art Space.
On November 13, 2021, Through the Flower Art Space will unveil a new and timely exhibition by Judy Chicago; Childbirth in America. The opening reception will be held at the Art Space from 4 -7PM. The exhibition will feature two works from Judy Chicago’s Birth Project along with a series of panels introducing viewers to the (largely unknown) history of childbirth. Executed between 1980 and 1985 – at a time when there were few images of birth in Western art -the Birth Project has been included in numerous shows; most recently in Chicago’s retrospective at the de Young Museum in San Francisco (on view until January 9, 2022) and an upcoming exhibition of Childbirth in America in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
