Center for Black Visual Culture. The CBVC is pleased to host Project for Empty Space, presenting the BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY) cross-country exhibition tour taking place inside of a 27-foot box truck, September 6th, from 12 - 8pm, at 20 Cooper Square. This project is a celebration of intersecting issues pertaining to bodily autonomy such as Reproductive Justice, Queer Liberation, and Trans Joy! This campaign emerges as a response to a relentless wave of conservatism that continues to politicize queer liberation and restrict reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare. The overarching message of this program is broadening awareness of the right to safe, legal, and accessible health care that allows people to LIVE IN THEIR POWER AND CHOICE! In Partnership with For Freedoms The Armory Show The Latinx Project Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at New York University.     Date:  September 6th, 2024 Time:  12:00-8:00pm EST Location: 20 Cooper Square, NYC
