Dread Scott in BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY)

Cross-Country, Traveling Exhibition

BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY) champions bodily autonomy, with a specific emphasis on intersecting themes of Reproductive Justice, Queer Liberation, and Trans Joy through contemporary art. Over 100 artists’ visions are represented in this project: the aim is to reinforce community(ies), create safe spaces, and cultivate joy.

 

This project emerges as a response to a relentless wave of conservatism that continues to politicize queer liberation and restrict reproductive & gender-affirming healthcare. The overarching message of this program is broadening awareness of the right to Safe, Legal, and Accessible healthcare that allows us to live in our power and choice.

 

BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY) is a project in many parts. Our cross-country exhibition tour takes place inside a 27-foot box truck, sharing the work of over 100 artists to cultivate community coast-to-coast. There is also a space towards the truck cab to record "Truck Talks," a series of monologues and dialogues reflecting on Body Freedoms For Every(Body), eventually becoming an oral history archive. In 2025, we will launch a participatory website that invites creative communities from across the country to share their work and connect with one another.
