Ep. 64 - Barbara Kruger's "Untitled (Your Body is a Battleground)" (1989)
In April 1989, Barbara Kruger - an artist, activist, and former magazine layout editor - created a flyer for a pro-choice women\u2019s march in Washington, DC to protest the Supreme Court\u2019s potential overturning of Roe vs. Wade. But this flyer was never meant to be a picket sign. Instead, it has become a timeless artwork all its own: directly addressing any viewer from any era, demanding they confront their own politics, and drawing the battle lines between all the external - and internal - tensions that exist not only within the parameters of the abortion debate, but within women themselves.\n\nSee the images:\nhttps://bit.ly/45wNrSb\n\nMusic used:\nDjango Reinhardt, \u201cDjango\u2019s Tiger\u201d\nThe Blue Dot Sessions, \u201cThread Indigo,\u201d \u201cMonder,\u201d \u201cTall Journey,\u201d \u201cStephi,\u201d \u201cMorning Glare\u201d\nHelen Reddy, \u201cI Am Woman\u201d (performed at the Mobilize for Women's Lives Rally in Washington in 1989)\n\nSupport the show:\nwww.patreon.com/lonelypalette\n\nEpisode sponsors:\nJay Handy Financial Services (for artists!)\nhttps://www.signalpointinvest.com/team/jay-handy/\n\nAltenew\nwww.altenew.com\nDiscount code: TAMAR10%OFF
