Aliza Shvarts Uses Abortion for Senior Art Project
Yale student induces multiple miscarriages for her senior art project.
According to the Yale Daily News, senior art major Aliza Shvarts will be displaying her controversial senior art project following a nine month process of artificially inseminating herself “as often as possible” while taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. The exhibition includes video recordings of the forced miscarriages and preserved collections of the blood from the process.
Yale Daily News reports that Shvarts’ goal was to start conversation and debate about the “relationship between art and the human body,” but she got much more than just debate. Several senior art majors have express shock with complaints ranging from how the project violates moral code to how it makes light of abortion.
Shvarts will not say who the sperm donors were, although she did require that they were tested for sexually transmitted diseases. She was not concerned of any medical complications the forced miscarriages may have caused, nor did she feel the need to consult with a doctor about her multiple miscarriages.
"I believe strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity," Shvarts says "I think that I'm creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be."
