The coronavirus pandemic has brought on a plethora of difficulties, from shortages of masks to attacks on a woman's right to a safe abortion. New York-based artist Hannah Bates is confronting both of these issues with her latest project, @pantyrespirator

Bates' @pantyrespirator is an ongoing social media performance piece that examines crisis, economics and sex work to emphasize how reproductive rights are an essential form of health care. Bates, who studied pornography during her MFA, was inspired by how sex work and sexuality can coexist with feminism and women's rights. "It informs my art practice in that pornography and sex work and people's perceptions of it reflect a lot of stereotypes that people have," she tells PAPER.

Through @pantyrespirator, Bates is challenging these stereotypes. The masks, an increasingly essential resource, are made from her underwear. They "come to life" by Bates photographing them. The photos of the masks are then posted on Depop, for roughly the same price as an abortion $950. Bates explains that this is anything but a thoughtless stunt. "The project uses a capitalist model to hold reproductive rights to the same standard as universal health," Bates says, thus pointing out the hypocrisy in not doing so. It's true: universal health is something we need right now.

Lmao a feminist artist who studied pornography for her master's degree in art

Reminds me of those weirdos who paint using their menstrual fluids to send some kind of message.

cant knock the hustle.

Meanwhile the thousands of women that have been selling their panties for like 20-40$ should be taking notes.

If this girl even only sells 4 of them thats the equivalent to like 100-250 pairs of panties for them

I don't think art should just be something any pretentious, talentless nitwit should be able to do.

It should require a degree of technical skill.

Sure you can. They're taking advantage of lonely men who probably have various issues that keep them from having a normal relationship with a woman. They're not being forced to buy them, sure, but come on.

Buy a pair, then sue her for selling items that don't offer any protection, despite her placing no disclaimer with hercalling them face masks with a Twitter handle that includes the word "respirator" in it.

That said... They're also the mask of a true hero.

She's a nutbag but she's pretty damn hot. She def don't own any granny panties either so all her masks are sexy things and g-strings. I think the only reaction this performance art is gonna get is arousal out of men.

I believe all panties should be made into face masks. For, you know, the good of humanity.

Im pretty sure the fabric used to make underwear is not going to make an effective face mask
