The Billboard at Abbott Hall at Northwestern University, 710 N. Lake Shore Drive in Chicago

Congo Square ensemble member and African American Museum of Performing Arts Executive Director TaRon Patton directs and co-produces The Billboard, an in-depth look at reproductive rights set at a fictional womens clinic in Chicagos Englewood neighborhood, where politicians weaponize womens bodily autonomy to forward their careers. When City Council candidate Demetrius Drew unveils a billboard saying Abortion is genocide the most dangerous place for a Black child is his mothers womb, Tanya Grays Black Womens Health Initiative responds with its own sign to underscore that abortion is more than merely pro-life or pro-choice. Her billboard says Black women have the right to make decisions for their families and their bodies. Abortion is self-care. #TrustBlackWomen.
