Rietlanden Women’s Office, Amsterdam
Offset printed publication
19 x 27 cm
Dedicated to the incredible – and incredibly beautiful – publication Triple Jeopardy (1971–75, by the Third World Women’s Alliance), as well as the ideas in Sophie Lewis’s book Full Surrogacy Now! – Feminism Against Family (Verso, 2019). MsHeresies 3 is reprinting the book’s final chapter, the essay *Amniotechnics.*
Each spread weaves edited material from Triple Jeopardy with Sophie Lewis’s essay. These intuitive and meticulous compositions are the outcome of looking at Triple Jeopardy through the lens of collaborative graphic design and reproductive labour. Reading, typesetting, collaging, painting, and ornamenting became a way of designing together while attempting an homage, a re-reading, and a cross-publication friendship.
The publication series MsHeresies is an inquiry into collaborative graphic design practices and the ornamental as a form of work critique.
