In 2020, artist Tom de Freston and his wife, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, discovered they were expecting twins. But Kiran miscarried, and thus began a long road to parenthood that saw the loss of six more pregnancies. Pulsing with wonder and insight, Strange Bodies is both a deeply moving chronicle of this journey - of the role of art in making sense of grief and of the struggle to create new life - and a love letter to Kiran, exploring how powerful bonds transform as lovers become family.
