Cellular Decisions / Art exhibition by Arendse Reeh

'Cellular Decisions' seeks to foster an alternative conversation about abortion, moving away from the binary opinionated debate in the U.S, while exploring narrative experiences of life and abortion. The exhibition was created in the fall of 2024 in New York, a state that has long served as a sanctuary state, upholding and protecting women’s right to abortion over the years.

'Cellular Decisions' takes the form of a co-creative, multimodal exhibition, featuring installations, voice recordings and photographs created by, and together with participants involved in the project. Focusing on various personal perceptions of life during and after an abortion, eight women in New York, aged 24-70, participated in creating the exhibition. All participants remain anonymous, while offering a personal perspective on the subject.

Please bring headphones in order to listen to the stories accompanying the exhibited pictures.

Arendse Reeh is an anthropologist and artist who recently completed her Master's degree in anthropology at Copenhagen University. In her anthropological work, she employs multimodal and co-creative methods to convey narrative stories on broader subjects while developing a language to reflect on them collectively.

Arendse will introduce the exhibition 8 April at 16.00 in Asta Bar before the screening of the 2024 film 'Zurawski v. Texas'.

The exhibition will continue to be available to view in Asta Bar throughout the festival's screenings.

Free to attend.
