  • Aliza Shvarts is an art student at Yale University in the United States who attracted infamy in 2008 for a controversial senior art project. Shvarts intentionally inseminated herself artificially as many times as possible over the course of nine months, during which she also induced abortions using abortifacient drugs. The exhibition of the project featured video recordings of the forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process. Shvarts declared that the goal of the project was to spark conversation and debate on the relationship between art and the human body. "I believe strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity," Shvarts declared. "I think that I'm creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be."
