Prune Nourry — the artist behind NYC’s eugenics-awareness public installation SpermBar and the prenatal buffet — has completed the next series of her ongoing Holy Daughters project. Addressing Asia’s trend of aborting pregnancies after the fetus is diagnosed with the female gender (apparently, a malady in some parts of the world), Nourry continues to remix cultural mythology for Holy River by working with local artisans to build an 18-foot-high sculpture out of the clay from the Ganges, traditional trimmings and one hefty guilt trip.

The holy cow/unwanted would-be daughter was then was ceremoniously “returned” to the river, highjacking the Hindu goddess festival Durga Puja and injecting it with some gender commentary. That’s quite some “scene” intervention there.
