RESCHEDULED: NEW DATE OCTOBER 20th

Lisa Currie’s piece The Importance of Choice is featured in the exhibition Let Me Tell You: Dane County Artists on Reproductive Health Justice currently on display in Communication’s gallery. This workshop will serve as the closing event for this exhibition. 

The recent social media-fueled fuss about childless cat ladies relies on tired tropes about spinsters sitting at home alone with hordes of cats, destined to be lonely and regretful forever. The reality for those who are childfree by choice -- SINKWACs, DINKWADs, PANKs, HUNKs and more! - is quite different.  While our pro-natalist society continues to promote childbearing and traditional family-building, each succeeding generation is increasingly choosing not to have children. What does this mean within a reproductive justice framework and for our future collectively? 

Join this presentation and discussion, led by Lisa Currie an HIV and sexuality educator, to learn more about many of the reasons behind the growing childfree by choice movement, plus engage in a craft project hand making paper beads. You’ll have the opportunity to incorporate your own reproductive justice or other personal messages into your beads, if you so choose!

This event has a Suggested Donation of $10. Pay at the door.
