Carmen Winant is an American artist. As an image collector and feminist, she explores the historical and cultural legacies that impact women’s bodies.
The Last Safe Abortion is composed of her own images and of archive material from clinics and planned parenthoods in various states, taken before and after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the United States.
Arranged in large, colorful spreads, like a photo album, the book shows the many faces of everyday work at an abortion clinic.
Carmen Winant pays a sensitive and delicate homage to abortion care workers, whose social and political importance contrasts with the ordinariness of their activities, and, with The Last Safe Abortion, offers the moving iconography of a fundamental right that was only guaranteed in the United States for 50 years (1973-2022).
