It’s Day 8 of the LVMC Podcast Block Party, and today’s feature is Of Black Wombhood, a show that shares and preserves oral histories about wombs and the experiences tied to them. But wait, my childfree friends, there's something for you here too!
Don’t be fooled by the title: this podcast isn’t about motherhood, but about the complex, often untold stories connected to the womb space. Through this work, Tanya's creating an archive that uplifts voices too often left out of the conversation.
If you’re in Philly, you can even catch the project featured in local exhibitions!
"Of Black Wombhood (OBW) is an independently-produced oral history project that invites us to think more imaginatively about wombs with respect to the Black body. In the OBW universe, wombs represent stories about gender, self-preservation, creativity, loss, and so much more. OBW currently features 10 oral history vignettes that introduce its listeners to a different storyteller's revelations or memories regarding their own wombhood."
