Birth Frames: How Do We Tell Birth Stories?
An interdisciplinary workshop exploring the stories, images, and cultural narratives that shape our understanding of birth.
Together we will explore:
How birth is framed across media, culture, and society
Conversations around freebirth, tradwives, ecofeminism, reproductive autonomy, and risk
Trans* and queer bodies and parenthood in media representation
Film and media examples – from cinema and documentary film to Instagram and social media
Creative exercises to reflect on your own relationship to birth: How do I want to imagine, experience, and tell my own birth story?
Writing, discussion, and embodied reflection
Participants will leave with:
A deeper awareness of the images, narratives, and ideals that shape our understanding of birth; the opportunity to develop a more personal and self-defined language around it.
Duration: 1–2 days or as a four-part series
Investment: Upon request (depending on group size and format)
Bodies in Transition: Reproductive Experiences and Identity
A creative, trauma-informed workshop exploring the relationship between bodily transformation, identity, and storytelling.

Physical transformation through pregnancy, birth, abortion, pregnancy or infant loss, gender-affirming care, grief, and other reproductive experiences
Creative self-reflection through writing, film, and body-based practices
Space for personal and collective storytelling
Optional creation of short films or written pieces as forms of reflection and expression
Participants will leave with:
A deeper connection to their own experiences and a compassionate, trauma-informed space to explore embodiment, change, and identity—beyond both idealisation and pathologisation.
Duration: One-day or weekend workshop
