NSFW Art show

December 26, 2020 Alejandra De la Torre

Spoke art’s NSFW Art show
curated by Dasha Matsuura

”Spoke Art NSFW, a group exhibition featuring over 40 femme artists exploring sex and sexuality. This dynamic array of artists displays a complex spectrum of experiences from introspective and intimate to playful and defiant.

Returning for its third iteration the exhibition explores and expands on what it means to be a sexual femme presenting person today. Including a wide variety of media such as painting, drawing, embroidery and ceramics, each artist presents facets of sexuality from the feminine viewpoint. The exhibition seeks to celebrate the ever shifting and multi-dimensional experience of each artist from soft sensuality to frank brashness.

Each piece delves into the complexity of femme sexuality, not as a definitive narrative, but as a larger conversation. Giving voice to artists across the spectrum of gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, racial background and experiences, the exhibition explores how each artist relates to their own sexuality.”
