About
<em>My Mom Had an Abortion</em><span> is a unique coming-of-age tale told by a self-described dyslexic-asexual-lesbian-feminist teenager and illustrated by body-positive comic artist Tatiana Gill. We follow our protagonist Beezus B. Murphy as she chronicles her evolving understanding of menstruation, reproduction, and abortion and finds her place in a confusing world. Initially influenced by harmful narratives in pop media such as the “the pregnant teenager” cliche, we watch Beezus’s ideas change as her body changes and as she learns more about the intricacies of her family history and her mom’s own reproductive experiences. She grows from a confused, out-of-place kid into a self-assured, empathetic, and strong-willed activist teen. As Beezus says, “People shouldn’t be shamed for getting or not getting abortions. Young people absorb the information that we gather from our surroundings. Sometimes it’s good information and other times it can be harmful. But now I realize abortion is perfectly normal and should be kept safe and legal.” Sprinkled with pop culture references, hilariously apt descriptions of unwanted body changes and menstruation like the chapter “Blood, Bath, and Beyond,” and instantly understandable revelations of growing-up, this beautifully illustrated short graphic novel crucially fills a cultural gap around complexities of abortion, pop culture, body changes, and finding out where we fit in.</span>

Artist Statement
Mellinger's work takes inspiration from both historical collage movements and contemporary feminist perspectives. With a practice that began rooted in the ideas and themes behind female artists of the Dada period, namely Hannah Hoch, she continues to find empowerment in the works of Joan Jonas, Francesca Woodman, Ana Mendieta and Cindy Sherman. Mellinger’s recent work centres on her experience as a mother living with mental illness. Her new series of works survey 30 years of having a name for what she experiences - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Though she is herself a mid-career artist by the standards of overall practice, Mellinger is a new emerging artists within the disability/Mad Arts community. She examines notions of “performative mothering” and dips her toes into the anthropological history of clowning. She is honoured to count choreographer Jennifer Dallas and photographer Melanie Gordon as collaborators. Mellinger is also lead artists of the inter-arts project Post-Part, currently preparing for it's third exhibition in Kitchener, Ontario. Inspired by the short story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Post-Part re-imagines the experience of Postpartum Mood Disorders as an immersive arts installation using illustration, collage, RGB filter technology and audio compositions created by using testimonies from birthing parents. Her previous work includes an artistic exchange with contemporary writer Marianne Apostolides, which resulted in a suite of images that was published in Apostolides’ book Deep Salt Water (published by book*hug 2017). The works have received many accolades within the literary and arts communities, including recently being reviewed in Feminist Studies Volume 46.1 within the essay “Abortion as a Feminist Pedagogy of Grief in Marianne Apostolides’s Deep Salt Water” by Rachel Alpha Johnston Hurst.

About
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WHAT: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Birth Justice Podcast NYC takes a close, comprehensive and creative look at how folks in New York City experience and navigate reproductive oppression and create resilience strategies for their health and their families. Through storytelling and conversations, BJP NYC provides a space for dialogue and debate addressing one of New York City’s most pressing public health and racial justice issues: birth. Hosted by Taja Lindley, podcast episodes feature one-on-one long form interviews and conversations with advocates, organizers, historians, scholars, healers, birth workers, pregnant and parenting people, and folks of reproductive age.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first episode dropped Wednesday July 8th and featureds an interview between the host, Taja Lindley, and her mother, Adrianne Robinson, where they discussed Robinson’s experience giving birth to Lindley in 1985. This was a special occasion because the release date is also Lindley’s birthday.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WHY:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the United States, Black women are three to four times more likely to die due to pregnancy related causes than white women. But in New York City, Black women are eight times more likely to die than white women. This is twice the national average. And during this pandemic moment, matters of public health are brought into focus, including long standing health inequities like maternal health. For example,when COVID first hit, NYC hospitals barred visitors during childbirth, leaving many people to labor alone. In response, Governor Cuomo issued an executive order allowing laboring people to have one support person during their childbirth. A few weeks after it was issued, however, Amber Rose Isaac - a 26-year-old pregnant Black woman - died after giving birth in a Bronx hospital. </span></p>

About
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We (Cayla Skillin-Brauchle and Danielle C. Wyckoff) have come together to birth </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reproductive Media</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a project that focuses on all things family, gender, sex, and reproduction. Iterations of Reproductive Media have included a Mobile Zine Library and performative actions and workshops in which we facilitate discussions on these themes. The Reproductive Media Zine Library’s collection includes dozens of contributors who have produced zines related to these topics, ranging from personal experiences to statistics and facts. Our curatorial vision for this library is inclusive: we encourage individuals to share diverse information, experiences, and interpretations. This collection is an ongoing and ever-growing library.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Part of Reproductive Media’s larger mission is to provide educational and advocacy materials and support. Current resources we have produced as free booklets include ways to advocate for family-friendly* workplaces, suggestions for creating more inclusive educational settings, and other tools to advocate for legislative change such as ones that would support families for medical leave. (*We recognize an inclusive definition of family and remember that people receive love and support from partners, elders, children, siblings, lovers, pets, friends, and more.) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reproductive Media stems from our shared investment in discussion and because our individual artistic practices utilize conversation and crowdsourcing as a tactic to research and create projects. Wyckoff’s project, “Please Tell Me a Story About Love,” has traveled around the world asking folks to do just that. The project’s open-ended structure situates the artist as listener, hearing and recording stories about all forms of love. Skillin-Brauchle’s “Data Collection” performances seek to create local data sets by interviewing community members in public places. While disparate in their approaches, these projects act as non-judgemental agents, recorders of contemporary experience. Our projects focus on the ‘local,’ whether that be a site or a community, and both projects collect responses that fuel our individual artwork in other material forms.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We believe that critical discussions require space. Reproductive Media creates such a space, one that is a public yet private forum, to talk about all things family, sex, gender, and reproduction: the choice to parent or not; the experiences of non-binary lives; governmental policy that is restrictive and policy that is protective; the challenges and rewards of parenting; experiences of becoming a parent through adoption, foster care, birth, or other paths; LBGQTIA+ rights; infertility and the emotional, physical and financial implications; miscarriage and fetal loss; birth control; abortion; models of prenatal care and giving birth (medical model and midwifery model); reproductive rights; reproductive privilege based on identity and socio-economics; sex; babies; gender; consent.</span></p>

Artist Statement
My work uses pop cultural tropes and dark humor to address thorny subjects like gender roles, religion, sexuality, and borders. Explorations of language, from documentary narratives to sacred texts to remixed song lyrics, run throughout my work in performance, video, installation, and print. I play with the disjunctions that occur in language translation and use the conventions of onscreen and printed text to engage charged content. Code-switching and voice-switching then complicate the relationships between Spanish and English, masculine and feminine, victim and victimizer, abject and exalted. My projects cross a variety of media to examine the relationship between the intimate and the public, double meanings, mistranslations, and the ironic and unintended experiences of the written, sung, and spoken word. I have a number of works that address motherhood. The print series M*dres takes inspiration from use of the words mother/mom/madre in slang phrases from American English and Mexican Spanish. Serious Work is a performance that satirically contrasts the banalities of parental life with the performance artist persona, using a smartphone as mediator. The video works Don’t Explain and Star-Crossed II recontextualize popular music to look at motherhood, mothers’ bodies, and abortion through the lens of patriarchal religious traditions and the divine feminine. Julia Barbosa Landois is a performance, installation, and video artist who lives in Houston, TX with her partner and two children. Her work has been featured in galleries, museums and performance festivals in the USA, Latin America, and Europe. Awards include grants from Artpace and the Artist Foundation of San Antonio, and residencies at the Santa Fe Art Institute (USA), Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (Norway), and Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Germany). Barbosa Landois holds a BFA from the University of Texas at San Antonio and MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. She currently teaches at the University of Houston.

Curatorial Statement
Super mom or childless? It almost looks as if there were no such thing any longer as motherhood pure and simple, as if all that is left is the choice between perfectionism and resignation. Nevertheless, motherhood has many aspects: joy, an intense experience of life, love relationship, learning, exultation, on one hand, and, on the other, frustration, being weighed down by expectations and the fear of being inadequate to the task. Until the 19th century motherhood was never called into question even if in actual reality the rewards often fell woefully short of projected ideals. It was only the advent of career openings for women that created alternatives to motherhood as a fulfilled life. Pregnancy, birth, abortion, life with children, the decision against children, the struggle of children with their mothers – all these themes have their place in art. Nor did we have to wait for 1960s feminist art to produce realistic portrayals of the mother’s role but fi nd renderings of social reality and individual conflicts already as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The exhibition showcases not only shifts in the stereotypes of motherhood from 1900 to today but also the changes in the perspective from which children see their mothers. It calls into question the optimisation logic of today’s life designs and nurtures the hope of change: an ever greater number of women with children opt out of the complex, often stressful regime of everyday life, refusing to accept their life world between career, children and consumption as preordained or God-given.
