    y separately published work icon Arena Quarterly Accelerated Worlds no. 11 Spring 2022 25226863 2022 periodical issue 'Second wave feminism shines a long beam still on the question of abortion. Wherever young feminists and other activists sit vis a vis arguments about the ‘assignment’ of sex and gender at birth, both something of the passion born specifically of women’s connection to abortion, and second wave feminism’s modern raising of abortion to the status of a woman’s right, seem to have fuelled the recent demonstrations and massive outpourings around Roe v Wade.'

Works about this Work

Credibility Gulf Kathleen Mary Fallon , 2022 single work essay
— Appears in: Arena Quarterly , Spring no. 11 2022; (p. 83-85)
'In January 2022 I performed my three one-woman pieces—whitenoise: 12 ghosts—over three nights at Theatre Works Mullet Festival. Each piece focused on a different form of violence: Laying Down the Law looked at the gendered violence of the Lindy Chamberlain case; What Happened Was This was the story of LebaneseAustralian Mamdouh Habib, his kidnapping, imprisonment and torture; Credibility Gulf, the third, focused on the first Gulf War. These were significant and iconic moments that have settled deep into our collective memories and cultural/political unconscious. I wanted to put the bodies and stories back together, reassemble them differently to create a new, more human, empathetic, and politically aware re-assessment of what really happened. I wanted whitenoise to re-contextualise these events, allowing the audience to re-member and re-appraise their impact: to activate an awareness of why re-engagement with these iconic events and characters—their ghosts—is necessary. I hoped to give the audience some conceptual and creative tools to extrapolate to similar events, including those taking place today.' (Introduction)
