LACTISM: Tamara Moyzes & Shlomi Yaffe

The Lactism exhibition is a revision of the women's condition, related to our ecosystem; the project presents a society free of all geopolitical borders. We can do so with help of our utopian religion, founded in Jerusalem. Terms like „nation“ and „border“ with their systematic and economic functionality do not have any relevance for the followers of Lactism.

Lactism, a monotheistic religion, worshiping the Lacteria Goddess as the Mother Nature, replaced the patriarchal order, that has for centuries ignored voice of the Nature. It became fourth religion, completing the group of the three most popular monotheistic religions. The Lacteria Goddess was created by a collective of women, that reflects diversity and refers symbolically to the power of individual in the collective. This way, the collective itself becomes the Goddess.

The exhibition is designed as fragment of a fictional temple, built for the cult of the Lacteria Goddess. It is a meta-modernistic experiment, rewriting history of the human race. The work revisions historic perspective and serves as a platform for discussions about concerns related to the climate change, gender inequalities, and the heading of our society in general.

The Lacteria Goddess was created by a collective of women:
