Untitled (your body is a battleground)

When this poster was created, access to abortion was under threat by growing opposition to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States. Krueger created this work in response to those threats. It was showcased during the Women’s March of 1989, which mobilized American women to protest for their rights. Posters such as these were created to empower and express the political efficacy of this overlooked group in politics. The juxtaposition of one visible face and the other blurred symbolizes the stark contrast of the society in which we currently live versus life without rights, creating a hopeless and dystopian reality for American women.
