Watch: The Surrogacy Act

How much do you know about surrogacy laws and ethics? What could you learn by stepping into the shoes of someone with experience of surrogacy?


In a unique online event on 2 December 2021, Modern Art Oxford welcomed playwright and game-maker Rhianna Ilube and feminist researchers and collaborators Zaina Mahmoud and Meera Somji, to present The Surrogacy Act, a developing interactive game that explores the experiences of surrogates and the legal system that shapes surrogacy in the UK. 

This event was visually captured by live illustrator Camille Aubry.
