The Boob Wall: Collective Castings

The Boob Wall Collective Castings For anyone with a breast to share or a chest to bare ♡ An ongoing, artist led club for collective casting, embodied work and intimate creating run by May and Leyla, this is an extension of The Boob Wall - a growing installation and living archive of breast and chest histories. For anyone who feels drawn to the work. Whether your relationship to your body feels clear, complicated, changing or all at once. what happens here ✿ You can: • be cast and become part of the evolving Boob Wall installation
• join small, intentional workshops exploring body, memory and material
• make your own pieces and take them home
• share stories, reflections and experiences in a space that holds them gently
• contribute to evolving surveys and conversations that build a collective understanding of how we live in our bodies
• be part of something that grows through the people within it a space for women, queer people and trans people
to build visibility, representation and understanding together This is not about observation or consumption.
It is about participation - in process, in conversation, and in something that is still unfolding. what we are doing ✧ We are building something together. A collective body of work.
An archive of how people have actually lived inside their bodies over time - not fixed, not perfect
just real and changing. what this is for ♡ • to see bodies as they are lived, not just seen
• to meet yourself with a little more empathy, honesty and less judgement
• to feel part of something shared, not separate what you might take from it ✿ There’s no expectation and no right way to feel. People arrive with all kinds of relationships to their bodies, and that’s met as it is. Being in the space, alongside other bodies and experiences, tends to shift something. What can feel very personal or isolating begins to sit differently when you see how many variations of it exist. You’re given the chance to pause and actually consider your relationship to your body in a real, physical way. Through the casting, you capture it as it is now. Not how it’s expected to be, or how it used to be, just as it is. There can be something quietly powerful in that. In seeing it more objectively. In recognising what it has carried you through, adapted to, endured. For some people that brings a sense of appreciation or softness. For others it simply holds a moment in time without needing to resolve anything. You leave having made something, and having been part of something larger than yourself. And more often than not, that sense of being seen, and of seeing others, stays with people.
