The human race is being “exterminated”… Is this who we really are? Is this a clear result of our addictions and its consequences?

Have They Taken Us Now? A performance-based exhibition by Saras Feijóo

Dear Friend,

There is no doubt that this month has been full of surprises… Sun, rain, wind and a great number of performances happening in almost every corner of beautiful Edinburgh. Have you seen anything you would recommend? Please do get in touch with your suggestions!

First at all, we want to THANK all of you who came to our Opening Night Party on 6th August and for being so warm and receptive –  for those of you who couldn’t make it, don’t worry, we know you were there with us in spirit.

THANK YOU also to our wonderful performers who made the night so special: Marta Girón Adán, Fiona Oliver-Larkin, Jelena Markovic, Atzi Muramatsu, Esther Swift, Suzi Cunningham and Tarha Erena Sarmiento.

THANK YOU The Raw Ginger Piece for providing us with their raw cakes delights. They will be back for our Closing Night Party too. Do not miss out!

And last but not least, THANK you all the team from St. Margaret’s House for giving us the space to create and for hosting us with so much generosity and love!

Have a look at some of the photos from our Opening Night Party below.

and closing exhibition performance: LIFE – an approximation to the culture of the Ovum by Saras Feijóo.

We live in The Culture of the Sperm: competing all the time to be the best and/or the most, even if that means to kill some people or push them down on the way… It is the goal that matters over anything else around us.

The culture of the sperm is taking our soul away, killing us slowly, destroying who we are and our surroundings.

For the last month and a half, I have been asking people about the Ovum. Once mature, the Ovum leaves the Ovary. Sucked by the Fallopian tube the Ovum make its way to the Uterus where it will meet with many spermatozoa. I didn’t meet a person who was entirely sure what an Ovum was!…

Perhaps, in this Culture of the Sperm, it is not that important to see the other side. Yes, the other side! A Spermatozoon alone, moving inside the woman’s body or down the toilet, has no meaning whatsoever.

From this side, The Culture of the Ovum is about being: being in the process, being in the moment, being in the journey, being within yourself… because it seems that – as part of the totality as we are – everything will fall into place whenever it needs to in order to make things happen. It is in this process, where I believe, Hope is situated: a state of being instead of becoming.

We need The Culture of the Ovum in order to balance our own realities!

In this exhibition, you can only touch it with your soul.

Remember to arrive on time to get all the fun!

It is our creative energy that will keep us alive… come to get inspired!

Love, Light and Freedom
Saras
