I Choose, Therefore I am is a peaceful protest and public art project created and curated by artist Rachelle LeBlanc. The project will help draw awareness to the recent events concerning women's rights. It will also give artists working in fiber and textile-based materials, methods, and techniques a place to show their best work by expressing themselves through their perspective on how these changes affect their lives. These rights include the right to choose for herself, to live free from violence, discrimination from skin color, equal pay, reproductive rights, sexual rights, including the LGBTQ community, and exploitation, to name a few.
