Trigger Planting 2.0 addresses the changing conditions of reproductive rights in the United States. This multi-sited exhibition opened on October 9, just one month before the presidential election. On display are medicinal plants, maps, and research drawn from local, national, and international sources, in the Milstein Lobby and outside gardens. Collectively, the exhibition surveys the shifting political, legal, social, and environmental landscapes and advocates for forms of expansive reproductive justice and ecologies of resistance. A series of additional materials and programming throughout the year will reflect on abortion care worldwide.
