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).

Impressive project...
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?
