SoHo20 Gallery proudly presents My Body, My Choice!, an online group exhibition featuring works by Molly Adams, Diane Churchill, Isabella Covert, Fatemeh Fani, Angela Holycross, Jasmine Humphrey, Alexandra Jamiseson, Janet Leombruni, Virginia Mallon, Fabianna Mosqueda, Sophie Nebeker, Helene Ruiz, Emma Schwartz, Sarah Sharp, and Badri Valian.
In 1973, the same year SOHO20 was founded, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion, granting women crucial rights that are now under threat. This exhibition responds to the recent court decisions that restrict one’s freedom of choice, juxtaposing the voices of established members of SOHO20 with those of younger emerging artists. This intergenerational dialogue spans decades of lived experience, artistic expression, and commitment to individual freedom.
Through a diverse array of media including intricate paintings and drawings, powerful figurative sculptures, and performance pieces, this exhibition gives a platform to artists whose work and lives have been directly impacted by the struggle for reproductive rights. Each piece embodies a personal expression of resistance, defiance, and resilience, inviting viewers to confront the critical issue of bodily autonomy.
In amplifying these voices, My Body, My Choice! unites a multiplicity of perspectives in a shared message of empowerment, inviting audiences to join the ongoing fight for the freedom that was once promised but remains ever fragile.
