Oh Honey!

What’s on offer?

A work-in-progress installation of elements from “Oh, Honey," a puppetry performance about bees and infertility. The piece will last 20 minutes, followed by unstructured group drawing activities where attendees can express and share their reflections on the performance. You are welcome to come and go as you like during this time. 

What’s it about?

Infertility affects 1 in 6 adults globally, and in the UK, 1 in 4 cases have unknown causes. This issue impacts a wide range of people, including LGBTQ+ individuals seeking parenthood. This work-in-progress installation is part of a larger project aimed at raising awareness of this significant yet often overlooked issue, acknowledging the emotional toll infertility can take, such as feelings of sadness, isolation, and frustration.  

By blending art with personal stories, we aim to create a space for discussion and expression, helping those affected by infertility feel less alone. Join us as we explore how art can illuminate the challenges of infertility, offering both understanding and community support.
