Goss-Michael Foundation will present "Is It Real? Contemporary Artists Address Reproductive Freedom," an exhibition exploring the collapse of reproductive rights in America and resulting consequences, as observed through the work of a visionary group of artists.

"Is It Real?" will debut in Dallas, where Roe v. Wade was first argued in 1970 before reaching the Supreme Court in 1973, raising awareness about increasingly strict limits on reproductive rights in Texas and across the American South, while raising funds for local organizations supporting reproductive care in this restrictive climate.

The show will examine several strategies that contemporary artists employ to address the topic of reproductive freedom. Leading with empathy and fact, and challenging often deeply rooted misinformation, the exhibition and its related programming seek to destigmatize and humanize reproductive care through the lens of Southern states where these rights are being stripped away most severely.

Highlights of the show include a new site-specific project by Guerrilla Girls Broadband and Autumn Breon’s Care Machine. Programming will include a film series organized in partnership with Spacy DTX, wellness workshops, panel discussions, "Get Out the Vote" initiatives, a resource library, and a reflection space organized by Make Art with Purpose.

Following the opening day, the exhibit will be on display through October 26.
