ABORTION POLITICS, ARCHIPELAGICALLY

Abstract

 In this photo collection, I examine how notions of islandness, interconnectedness and (trans)nationalism are articulated in post-Repeal Irish abortion politics. The images, captured during doctoral fieldwork, highlight the importance of cross-border solidarities, as well as the opportunities and tensions associated with the circulation and vernacularisation of transnational activist vocabularies, imaginaries and strategies. Together, they point to the value of conceptualising abortion politics through an archipelagic lens.
