From Love II: Intimacy Through the Lens of Incarceration

From Love II: Intimacy Through the Lens of Incarceration explores sex and sexuality through erotic art, research based articles, poetry, paintings, photos, objects, and ephemera, created by currently incarcerated artists and their loved ones. 

“Intimacy is a human right. The carceral system prohibits people from exercising that right, a basic human need, a salve. Healing is stolen from us.” JW

The exhibit exposes conditions that deny intimacy, and highlights how intimacy is reclaimed, maintained or lost. It sheds light on the struggle to sustain intimate relationships on the outside, while serving time inside a system that denies people of basic human rights, destroys families, and is designed to break both body and spirit. 

With this in mind, From Love II reminds us that fantasy, pleasure, sex, and intimacy, continue to serve as radical acts of resistance and liberation. Join us in the fight!
