The Center for Black Visual Culture, in partnership with For Freedoms, presents Where Do We Go From Here? The Four Freedoms Photographs by Hank Willis Thomas (TSOA ’98) and Emily Shur (TSOA ’98), in collaboration with Eric Gottesman and Wyatt Gallery (TSOA ’97).

Founded in 2016 by a coalition of artists including Hank Willis Thomas, Eric Gottesman, Michelle Woo, and Wyatt Gallery, For Freedoms is an artist-led organization that centers art as a catalyst for creative civic engagement, discourse, and direct action. Learn More.

As part of our opening reception, 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!

This program is cosponsored by The Latinx Project and Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at New York University
