Maggie Shannon: Extreme Pain, But Also Extreme Joy
6 June – 30 June
“After much of the USA went into lockdown in early March 2020, LA-based photographer Maggie Shannon began following midwives in Los Angeles as they navigated new protocols caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. By photographing the midwives, Shannon explores what it means to bear life in a time of sorrow and grief. The midwives’ phones rang endlessly with calls from terrified women hoping to deliver safely in their homes. With hospitals flooded and many banning partners from the delivery room, the possibility of going through childbirth without a mask and in a familiar setting seemed, to these women, like the only option. ”
