The title of the show\, Plan B\, refers to a type of emergency birth control medication (aka the Mornin g After Pill) that can be taken to prevent pregnancy. Throughout history\, there have been various forms of a &lsquo\;plan B&rsquo\; and many cultur es used medicinal herbs to end pregnancies\, sometimes with poisonous or d eadly results. The amphora bottle which dates back to ancient Greece was u sed as artistic inspiration for this show because it was used to contain h erbs and medicines.

For this project\, Burke invited artists to either transform a cast silver amphora bottle or use their own interpretat ion of Plan B as a starting point to create a unique wearable or sculptura l object. As Burke observes &ldquo\;[a]rt has always been a symbolic tool to bring societal injustices to light.&rdquo\; Plan B Art Project is a poi gnant example of this notion by representing over 40 artists&rsquo\; voice s. The art objects in this exhibition are symbols of protest against the t hreats and abolishment of the right to access safe and legal abortion and reproductive healthcare in the United States.
