From the 6th until the 12th of March, Aimée Phillips (DAI 2026) and Nina Linde Läuger are holding an exhibition at PAKT Foundation, Amsterdam. No Need to Confess is an installation which in a multidisciplinary manner aims to interweave different perspectives (historical, intimate and socio-political) on abortion and confession. In doing so, it aspires to offer a platform for practices that expose the taboos relating to abortion. DAI participants past and present, Annette Rodriquez (DAI 2025), Bel McLaughlin (DAI 2025) and Clara Saito (DAI 2019) will stage a performance during the opening on the 6th of March.
We would hereby like to invite you to the opening of ‘No Need to Confess’ on the 6th of March (6 PM) at PAKT Foundation, Zeeburgerpad 53, Amsterdam.
The installation combines and reworks (self)fabricated archival material from different eras that have normalized and lived out misogynistic (political, religious as well as social) structures or represent empowering practices by people with wombs. The installation is an invitation to enter the layered narratives and complex relationships between image and imagination, the lived experiences of people with wombs and how abortion is submerged in repressive language and censorship.
This project is supported by the AFK (Amsterdam Fund for the Arts) and Expocafé Zamen.
