Part of the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center (SJDC) Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries Fall 2014 exhibition series For years, Jackson Women’s Health Organization (JWHO) has been a flashpoint for impassioned demonstrations both for and against Mississippi’s last remaining abortion clinic. Curated by Lori Brown, author of Contested Spaces: Abortion Clinics, Women’s Shelters and Hospitals, and Kimberly Tate, part-time faculty at Parsons, this participatory architectural installation tackles the controversy head on, exploring the ways design can be used to foster dialogue at JWHO. Design ideas, contributed by a wide-range of participants via postcards, will lay the groundwork for design solutions implemented at the clinic. The exhibition is the brainchild of ArchiteXX, an independent organization of women in architecture, and is a collaborative design action addressing “the public-private interface of the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi."
