Your body is a battleground : Iconic pro-choice poster returns to Poland Artist Barbara Kruger s pro-choice poster has reappeared in Poland as a protest against the country s tightening of abortion restrictions. It was first seen there in 1991. As Poland’s effective ban on abortions continues to spark mass demonstrations, a seminal women s rights poster by American artist Barbara Kruger has returned to the country s streets. In protest against the new restrictions, a Polish gallery plastered Kruger s work Untitled (Your body is a battleground) around the city of Szczecin, nearly three decades after the artist s graphic work had first appeared in Polish public spaces.

Barbara Kruger's 'Your Body is a Battleground' poster appears in Poland as protests flare up over abortion ban

Over the past two weeks, more than 100 posters have been distributed in the streets of Szczecin, considered one of Poland’s most liberal cities, as part of a project by the TRAFO Center for Contemporary Art. On 22 October, Poland s constitutional court ruled that abortion is illegal even in cases where there are severe foetal abnormalities. Almost all of the country s 1,000 legal terminations a year are carried out for this reason; under the new law, abortions can only be carried out in instances of rape, incest and when the mother s life is at risk.
