(IM)POSSIBLE BABY: Art, Ethics & Biology

Imagine a future where same-sex couples can conceive children genetically related to both parents—as in Ai Hasegawa’s (Im)Possible Baby. Hasegawa, who addresses key societal dilemmas and ethical questions through her speculative design projects, was selected to represent Japan in New Worlds: Women to Watch 2024 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. At this talk, hear from Hasegawa about her unique artistic vision, as well as Ilene Gutman, Deputy Director of National and International Outreach at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Moderated by Ayako Weissman, co-chair of the National Museum of Women in the Arts Japan Committee.
