In 2019, I had the pleasure of participating in the #AbortTheStigma exhibition, which was the first Malaysian online and on-site/offline art exhibition aimed to address abortion-related stigma in Malaysia through art activism in conjunction with World Safe Abortion Day. My contribution to the exhibition was a piece made up of these two commentary posters, meant to be viewed side-by-side.
The posters are parallel depictions of the modern alphabet used in daily life. For each letter, a word or term associated negatively with abortion is displayed in simple illustrations.
(Close-ups of each letter with brief descriptions are below!)
