AUTONOMY

How were artists chosen? (connection to Denver/Colorado art scene, identity, etc.)

How were pieces chosen? (content/theme, artist, significance, date, etc.)

Art is a method of expression that has existed since the start of human history, ranging from early depictions of animals and figures to the contemporary works of up-and-coming artists today. It is a visual storytelling method — we can determine so much about the human condition from handprints on cave walls to the brush strokes of Van Gogh’s Starry Night. It is a means to speak out without ever having to say a word. Anyone can create and consume art, making it ideal and accessible for all to share messages, information, and action in their communities and beyond.

Sample questions to do more research:
What does autonomy mean for Denver/around CO communities?

What reproductive rights choices are happening here (right to abortion, legal same-sex marriage, etc.) that are “wins”?

What are the effects of national repro rights decisions on Denver communities? (how does Dobbs impact access and waiting times, funding cuts/disputes, etc.)

Why is it important to have autonomy when it comes to reproductive health decisions? What happens if we lose the right to choose? How can we fight back against that happening?

Depending on the availablility/involvement of COLOR, here are other resources/organizations we want to highlight
