NEW YORK – As a continuation of Prune Nourry’s ‘Holy  Daughters’ project in India, the artist’s new ‘Terracotta Daughters’ sculptures  make a statement about gender preference in China. Nourry has created an army of  116 life-size ‘Terracotta Daughters’ as a contemporary postscript to China’s  famed Terracotta Soldiers.

 

Nourry’s  installation will commence a world tour after a Paris debut in April 2014, with  subsequent stops planned in Switzerland (June) and New York City  (October).

How many women are missing from the world due to infanticide and the abortion of female fetuses?   How can we be women in a world where our gender gives people reasons to kill us off?
