What do animals, plates, and fertility have in common? More than you might think.
Last week, I stumbled upon an article that completely flipped my perspective. It was about an exhibition in Athens called “Why Look at Animals” at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST). The exhibition is described as something that will "rip your heart out, if you have one." Intrigued, I dove into the review and found myself thinking about revolution—not in the political sense, but in how subtle, intimate changes can reshape our lives. You can read the original article here.
At first glance, you might wonder, what on earth does an art exhibit about animals have to do with fertility? I had the same question. But the exhibition’s core theme centers on empathy, attention to the often-overlooked, and challenging dominant narratives—concepts that resonate deeply with anyone navigating the emotional and physical rollercoaster of fertility.
The Quiet Revolution Happening on Your Plate—and in Your Life
The exhibition challenged visitors to see animals not just as food or background characters in a story but as beings worthy of deep compassion and consideration. It’s a call to rethink the plates we’re served and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, what we value, and how we connect.
Similarly, in fertility journeys, revolution often happens quietly and personally. It’s about shifting perspectives, breaking stigmas, and exploring new paths that might once have seemed impossible or intimidating.
For many couples and individuals, the path to parenthood can feel like an uphill battle—fraught with emotional landmines, expensive treatments, and invasive clinical procedures. That’s why the idea of empowering oneself with accessible and compassionate options is so revolutionary.
Home Fertility Solutions: Revolutionizing Control and Comfort
Here’s where the connection becomes even clearer. Organizations like MakeAMom are quietly spearheading this revolution by offering at-home insemination kits designed for people who want to take control of their fertility journey in a setting that feels safe, private, and empowering.
Whether it’s the CryoBaby kit tailored for frozen sperm, the Impregnator kit for low motility sperm, or the BabyMaker kit designed for those with sensitivities like vaginismus, these products represent a seismic shift in how we think about fertility treatments. Instead of disposable, clinical experiences, they offer reusable, cost-effective solutions that respect your comfort and privacy.
The success rate they report—67%—is nothing short of remarkable for home insemination systems, reinforcing that less can sometimes be more.
Why This Matters More Than Ever in Today’s World
In 2025, conversations about fertility are finally becoming more open and inclusive. People are demanding options that acknowledge diverse needs and experiences—from LGBTQ+ family building to addressing physical sensitivities and conditions. Yet, the conversation is holistic; it’s about emotional well-being, lifestyle, and empowerment alongside medical or technological solutions.
Just like the Athens exhibition invites us to reimagine our relationship with animals and food, fertility journeys invite us to rethink what parenthood looks like, who gets to choose their path, and how we support one another along the way.
What Can You Take Away from This?
Empathy is revolutionary. The exhibition’s call to look differently at the world resonates with how we look at our bodies, our fertility, and our choices.
Control and comfort matter. Fertility journeys are deeply personal. Tools like MakeAMom’s kits put the power back in your hands in a way that’s affordable and gentle.
Revolution comes in many forms. It might be an art exhibit that makes you pause, or a new approach to conception that feels right for you.
So next time you find yourself overwhelmed by the whirlwind of fertility treatments or societal expectations, remember this: revolutionary change often starts quietly, in the most unexpected places—even on your plate, or in the small moments where you reclaim your journey.
