Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Focusing on the near-fifty-year period in which abortion was legal in the United States (1973-2022), The Last Safe Abortion recognises the care, advocacy, and community-building of abortion workers. Artist Carmen Winant draws from over a dozen personal, organisational, and institutional archives from across the Midwest, in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Kentucky, North Dakota, and Ohio. The photographs themselves are surprisingly regular: women answer the phone, sterilize medical equipment, throw staff birthday parties, offer workshops, and schedule appointments. In centring the tender, quotidian, and routine acts that inform this healthcare work, Winant works to counter the ways anti-choice activists have weaponised photography by proposing a visuality that attends to abortion care. The Last Safe Abortion presents a selection of this vast collection of photographs, accompanied by a text by Winant. This publication coincides with the complementary new edition of My Birth (ISBN 9781999814441) |

| Beschreibung: | Umschlagtitel Spiralbindung "These images are drawn largely from the clinics themselves. Some come from institutional collections, and others are my own photographs. Permission has been granted for every image that appears in this book. Some scenarios are staged; no actual patients appear. They are a gift."--Carmen Winant, cover page 3 Published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Whitney Biennial 2024: Even Better Than the Real Thing', at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York |
