In Conversation

Join us for a discussion exploring contemporary abortion rights and creative ways of challenging restrictive abortion access. We will have a panel of activists, artists, and academics central to advancing abortion rights, including Emma Campbell, an artist-activist-academic based in Belfast and part of the Turner prize winning Array Collective, Sarah from the Ad'iyah collective who support Muslim communities with abortion miscarriage and stillbirth, and Liza Caruana-Finkel, a co-founder of Voice for Choice Malta and a PhD researcher at University of Liverpool. Our conversation will share experiences from Ireland and Malta and ongoing challenges in abortion access in Britain. We will also be exhibiting some creative outputs from research projects around abortion access, activism, and stigma.
This event is part of the ESRC Festival of social sciences and is hosted by Claire Pierson from University of Liverpool in conjunction with the Liverpool Independent Arts School. Light refreshments will be available.
