The Pill Project
The Pill Project is an artwork in support of reproductive rights. Each abstract circle is a “pill” symbolizing contraception. People are asked to buy a pill to enact their rights to safe and affordable contraception. By engaging with the artwork and buying a pill the audience is actively showing their support for reproductive freedom. All proceeds are going to Planned Parenthood.
