Satanic Abortion Statue Coming to the University of Houston February 28
February 9, 2024 | Houston, TX
The University of Houston (UH) will display a satanic-looking golden statue, called “Witness,” to honor abortion and memorialize the late Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The statue will be on display at the Cullen Family Plaza at UH from February 28 through October 31.
UH is subsidized by Texans’ tax dollars!
The idol, named “Witness,” is an 8-foot tall naked female figure with braids shaped like goat horns and arms like tentacles. Its judicial lace collar mirrors Ginsburg’s recognizable style.
It debuted in New York last year and was co-commissioned by Madison Square Park Conservancy and Public Art of the University of Houston System (Public Art UHS).
Artist Shahzia Sikander told the New York Times that she titled part of her exhibit “NOW” because women’s ability to have abortions is at risk right “now.” She added she created the statue to pay homage to Ginsburg because “she is a fierce woman and a form of resistance in a space that has historically been dominated by patriarchal representation… With Ginsburg’s death and the reversal of Roe, there was a setback to women’s constitutional progress.”
Executive Director and Chief Curator of Public Art at the University of Houston Dr. Maria C. Gaztambide said she is “proud” to bring the statue to fruition:
“With Havah…to breathe, air, life, Shahzia demonstrates how justice is conceptually and actively vibrant across cultures and genders. And yet, while the necessity of justice is universal, it is often blindly applied. Shahzia brings to the fore the imbalances of gender and race through this exceptional work. We are proud to join forces with Madison Square Park in bringing it to fruition, while amplifying its reach beyond New York City.”
