BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY) is a cross-country exhibition tour celebrating Reproductive Justice, Queer Liberation, and Trans Joy!
About this Event

Join us Saturday, September 21st, anytime between 12-5pm for BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY), a cross-country exhibition tour inside of a 27-foot Box Truck celebrating Reproductive Justice, Queer Liberation, and Trans Joy! It features over 100 artists’ works inside this truck to cultivate community coast-to-coast. The exterior will feature custom graphics designed by Barbara Kruger including her iconic artwork “Your Body Is A Battleground.” The two-part endeavor (a traveling exhibition and an accessible digital database) addresses the importance of agency, autonomy, and choice when it comes to healthcare and individual identity.

Free and Open to the Public!

We are offering 2 private tours with curator, Jasmine Wahi at 1pm and 3pm.

(Free, RSVP required, Limited availability)

This project aims to create awareness, cultivate community, and engender support for bodily autonomy through art. This project emerges as 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.


Jasmine Wahi is the Founder and Co-Director of Project for Empty Space, a nonprofit organization in New York City and Newark, New Jersey. Her multifaceted curatorial practice predominantly focuses on issues of femme empowerment, complicating binary structures within social discourses, and exploring multi-positional cultural identities through the lens of intersectional feminism. In 2023, Ms. Wahi was honored by The Metropolitan Museum of Art for exemplary social impact work in the Arts, both at Project for Empty Space and in her other roles as both a museum curator and independent practitioner. Jasmine Wahi lives in Brooklyn, NY, with her chihuahua mutt, Momo. You can follow her shenanigans and micro-essays on Instagram at @browngirlcurator.
