A Brief History
An interactive erasure poem that animates, preserves, and redacts from the article, “A Brief History on Roe vs Wade.” Through a four-part series of interactions on the p5 canvas, users move through a river of animated text that move and pause, veil and unveil excerpts on reproductive justice history. The work explores erasure as a boundary, as sabotage, as plain commentary on the pain and the movements that push forward reproductive justice.
