As referenced in Mona Eltahawy’s (@monaeltahawy) recent Service95 story about pushing back against the deliberately constructed shame around abortion, the artist Jaishri Abichandani (@jaishri.abichandani) is at the forefront of driving that conversation forward. Her piece, depicted here, “an amalgam of feminist iconography, a feminist deity who will bless our reproductive choices in an ocean of patriarchal religions that deny those with wombs agency over our bodies” entitled ‘Shrine To The Abortion Goddess, 2017-19’, does exactly that. “The number of figures corresponds to my own abortions,” writes Abichandani. “The smaller figures are traced from the body of my child and the central one is traced from that of my husband.” What socially engaged artworks have resonated with you?
