Discover Kerry Lemon's innovative performace - Communion, an innovative performance by artist Kerry Lemon, transforming as her alter-ego MRS ROE and gift cuttings from the abortifacient tansy plant by copper plating them live in the gallery featured as part of her MRS ROE project, presented by Ruup & Form.
Through this performance, Lemon aims to illuminate our disconnected relationships with the planet and each other, utilizing abortive herbs to re-examine ancient knowledge systems. This thought-provoking event envisions a non-hierarchical future that acknowledges our interconnectedness with the natural world, including our bacterial, animal, geological, and botanical co-inhabitants.
MRS ROE seeks to explore her dislocation from the land via the global and localised power structures which influence the ethics of female sexuality and reproduction. The indigenous, verbal, medicinal plant heritage once held by woman has now mutated into a patriarchal system of western medicine and criminalised abortion.
This is the second of four performances scheduled, next performances to follow in November 2024, and February 2025. Please follow the gallery for further updates.
