“Family Planning” transmutates consumer packaging fromÂ
birth control pills into packaging for bindis, commenting on reproduction and adornment. Both the bindis and estrogen articulate the interdependent relationship of the import-export industry and women’s bodies, and who controls and defines what is appropriately feminine.
