Two powerful women artists come together for this installation addressing Irish women's sexual and reproductive rights. Rare in the trade. 

From Cummins website, "The artwork addresses the silencing of women and the Irish State's control over our sexuality, fertility, and bodily autonomy. In a deeply repressive social and political climate, Cummins and Walsh utilise their bodies as active agents, subverting oppressive religious and legislative controls.
