Resumen

En 1973, las feministas en EE.UU. vieron el fallo de Roe contra Wade 1973 como una enorme victoria. Pero en los años subsiguientes esta legislación se erosionó a nivel federal y estatal. Varios artistas se han ocupado de esta situación, sin embargo, su trabajo ha sido oscurecido por un doble velo; el arte feminista a menudo es marginado y las cuestiones relacionadas con el aborto se complican aún más por su naturaleza polarizante. Por lo tanto, los artistas que abordan este tema a menudo han utilizado los archivos para hacer visible la historia del aborto. Aquí, me dirijo a las obras producidas por REPOhistory, Kerr + Malley y Andrea Bowers. Ellas examinan las restricciones contemporáneas al recordar las restricciones del pasado; producen obras que excavan en lo profundo de los informes sobre abortos y los derechos al aborto que han sido pasados por alto. Sus proyectos cuestionan productivamente la intersección del arte y el activismo, el potencial estético y activista de los archivos y la lucha que las mujeres enfrentan al insistir que sus historias se cuenten.
