The Hotline
Please call 1800 960 929 for access.
The Hotline allows callers to explore anecdotes on reproductive healthcare via a phone menu with each user creating their own choose-your-own-adventure style narrative. Satirising anti-choice pregnancy helplines, The Hotline explores how patriarchal medicine impacts those experiencing reproductive health issues.
★★★★ "Navigating Kasey Gambling’s deliriously cheerful, malignantly patriarchal parody of a reproductive healthcare “help” line feels like being stuck in limbo, halfway between The Handmaid’s Tale and The Stepford Wives." - Stephen A. Russell, The Age

It’s confronting, infuriating and playful all at once. - Lakshmi Ganapathy, Arts Hub
