Wade decision and the opening weekend of Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter: Ain’t I a Woman. 12–5 pm Abortion Stories USA BK Forum Since the dismantling of Roe in 2022, activists and artists have hosted “abortion story shares” as a tool for community-building, healing, and transforming public opinion. Participate in one by listening to stories from people who have had an abortion and, if desired, sharing your own. Initiated by artist and organizer Rebecca Goyette, Abortion Stories USA celebrates the bodily autonomy of women and queer and trans people by providing space for first-person narratives about abortion, as well as for artistic expression and mutual aid. 1:30–2 pm Exhibition Tour: Ain’t I a Woman Overlook Gallery Join Jaileen Pierre-Louis, former CITI Intern, Center for Feminist Art, for a tour of Baxter’s exhibition, which connects Black women’s fight for bodily autonomy to the legacy of Roe. 2–3:30 pm Screening with Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter and Catherine Morris Auditorium An artist, advocate, and educator, Baxter presents her documentary Ain’t I a Woman.
