To the Moon and Back at the Barbican
"Anna Furse and Nina Klaff reflect on the experience of IVF from two vastly different perspectives – one as the fertility patient, the other - the person born as a result of reproductive science.
With unflinching honesty, they reveal some of the hard and unspoken truths. As the story unfolds, it reveals their intensely close and complex relationship.
The artists were joined for a discussion and Q&A by Victoria Macdonald, Channel 4’s Health & Social Care Correspondent, and Ann Daniels, record-breaking polar explorer and mum of IVF triplets. Chaired by writer and journalist Jo Ind."
