Global Art Exhibit—Body Freedom for (Every)Body—Makes A Tour Stop at The Future Front House

In November 2024, we hosted Body Freedom for Every(Body)—a cross-country art exhibition tour that takes place inside a 27-foot box truck—for its official Austin, Texas tour stop.

Presented by Project for Empty Space, the exhibit took place in the parking lot across the street from The Future Front House, spotlighting global artists’ works on themes of Reproductive Justice, Queer Liberation and Trans Joy.

In celebration of the exhibition, we welcomed Austin’s creative community, as well as a special guest performance by Future Front Resident Artist Olivia Komahcheet, throughout the weekend.

About Body Freedom for Every(body):

As a traveling art exhibition, BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY) explores bodily autonomy, with a specific emphasis on intersecting themes of Reproductive Justice, Queer Liberation, and Trans Joy through contemporary art.

Over 100 artists’ visions are represented in this project: the aim is to reinforce community(ies), create safe spaces, and cultivate joy. The project emerged 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 healthcare that allows us to live in our power and choice.

BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY) is a project in many parts. Our cross-country exhibition tour takes place inside a 27-foot box truck, sharing the work of over 100 artists to cultivate community coast-to-coast. There is also a space towards the truck cab to record ‘Truck Talks,’ a series of monologues and dialogues reflecting on Body Freedoms, eventually becoming an oral history archive.
