One shouldn't show, shouldn't look, shouldn't touch ... That must have been how it appear to the church of Alella, Spain, forbids just hours before the moment of inauguration of an exhibition, with everything arranged and ready to open to the public, in the rented space of that parish.
It was considered unpardonable sin, the 30 beautiful photographs in the exhibit titled: 'El Pit Al Descobert' (The Naked Breasts). The photographs show the evolution of time of women and their breasts, elegant and subtle, the traces of developing cancer.
It is organised and dedicated to the sensibility and prevention of such an awful sickness. The objection of argument brandished was the supposed impact caused by nude breasts on children. Taking into consideration that these children live surrounded of naked breasts practically daily, on the beaches, in the media and mostly likely even in their own homes; the explanation sounds more like an excuse of the Catholic church, which still considers woman's breasts as object of shame and source of sin.
Being woman, I can't help feeling that our gender is still wrapped as tabu, sex is bad, our body is bad but, more than that, I feel insulted. Have they forgotten that God created woman?
