Artist talk with Hoda Tawakol & Anna Nowak

For her two installations Cosmic Womb and Goddess in the Stadtpark and the Kunsthaus Hamburg, the artist Hoda Tawakol drew inspiration from the ancient Egyptian goddess Nut. The figure, who swallows the sun at night in order to give birth to it anew each morning, embodied a sacred understanding of the female body that was associated with creation, protection and cosmic order. In conversation with Anna Nowak, the artist will discuss the changing status of femininity and motherhood: from their role as a central element of spiritual and social systems to the reality of care work today.
