My Body is My Own showcased artworks from an open call on the theme of ‘bodily autonomy’. ‘Bodily autonomy means my body is for me; my body is my own. It’s about power, and it’s about agency. It’s about choice, and it’s about dignity’ (UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem). Click here to learn more about bodily autonomy (UNFPA, YouTube).
We're grateful to our panelists, Lauren French, Helen Henderson, Vidhya Vinu, and Emily Unity, who brought a wide set of experiences and perspectives to the discussion. We’re deeply grateful also to all our artists, whose work canvasses a spectrum of experiences and perspectives on ‘bodily autonomy’
