Shvarts, Yale clash over project 4.18.08
Aliza Shvarts ’08 was never impregnated. She never miscarried. The sweeping outrage on blogs across the country was apparently for naught — at least according to the University.
“The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body,” Yale spokeswoman Helaine Klasky said in a written statement Thursday afternoon.
But in interviews — and through the display of evidence — Thursday night, Shvarts stuck to her original story: Yale, she says, is turning its back on her in the face of overwhelming media pressure.
