*** This event is open to the general public. *** The Big Hysto: A Black Womb Revolution speaks to the medical racism, sexism, homo/transphobia and xenophobia that Black womb holders/patients experience when seeking access to quality medical care. It centers fibroids, endometriosis, hysterectomies, ovarian cancer and cysts and calls out the racist evolution of the medical field built on the wombs and backs of Black bodies. The Director is both a fibroid survivor and Black patient along with a full cast of 17 womb holders who speak truth to power and advocate for justice.
