The Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine uses its gallery space as a means of dialogue and conversation with the community on topics of relevance to public health and social justice. For September, the school presents The Art of Birthing, an effort of Sista' Midwife Productions designed to raise awareness about maternal and infant mortality and perinatal disparities. The art by artists from around the country is part of an art auction designed to raise funds to support the Healthy Birth Louisiana state training initiative.
