Womb+

Why don't we tell stories about pain? Is it too intimate, chaotic, "feminine"? Womb+ is a collective testimony about living with endometriosis and everyday survival. It reveals the systemic failures of medicine, which renders pain invisible and conditions the value of the human body on its ability to reproduce and its economic productivity in the capitalist system.
