Artists for Planned Parenthood is an annual project led by Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest. This year’s theme is: Visions of Resistance.
As we witness an increase in attacks on trans people, immigrants, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ communities and more, our goal is to showcase art that examines the importance of resistance, community-building, cultivating hope, and having a bold and unapologetic vision for our future.
Art can include interpretations on what it means to resist, fight, and allow ourselves to dream that a different world is possible. It can include poetry, performance art, music, digital art, sculpture, knitting and crocheting, short films, or more.
How do you resist? When you think about the future you want for all of us, what do you see?
Eligibility:
Artists must reside in the United States.
