Also known as Artistic Activism, Artivism is where art meets activism and is a powerful tool for self-expression and inspiring social change. We are looking for fierce abortion advocates who want to expand access to abortion for Texans through art. We believe through art, we can destigmatize abortion and promote reproductive justice in our communities.
Is It Real!? Exhibition
In October 2024, The Goss-Michael Foundation and Hignite Projects will present Is It Real? Contemporary Artists Address Reproductive Freedom at Lagoon Studio in Dallas, in partnership with ACLU of Texas, Texas Abortion Advocacy Network, TEA Fund, and The Afiya Center.
