Label copy

“Often I see images of dead brown and black bodies on the web and never any white bodies; it’s strange and unsettling. We always see violence inflicted upon black or queer bodies and there is this weird line between awareness and consumption or enjoyment of seeing our pain. It is important to create these spaces for people like myself to be themselves and to see a safe, confident, and strong visibility and being able to relate to an imagethat isn’t on the surface white or straight. We should be able to access ideas about love, power, tenderness, and space through other perspectives despite them being universal ideasto their own experiences and bodies.”

-Jonathan Lyndon Chase, 2016
