Radical, Timely, Urgent 2024| (Lexington) $10,000 to support the production of a series of visual art works and workshops focusing on the concept of “personhood” of the fetus and the use of this concept as a tool of political manipulation and control of female bodies. The artworks will provoke discussion around the medical, legal and personal implications of laws that define the fetus as having the same rights and privileges as a child and will encourage frank discussion of personal experience.
