VELVET
What does it look like when you attempt to re-remember and master the archival BDSM and kink narratives that have been constructed from the lens of patriarchy, fetishism and medical gatekeeping? With videos, photographs, drawings and installations, artists Caleb Yono and Melissa Hespelt respond to and negotiate ideas of desire, the male gaze and sexual autonomy present in the historical materials located at the Leather Archives & Museum.
