- This photograph is a part of a larger series about queer chosen family called, "Within the hold of ( )." The term ‘chosen family’ was coined by anthropologist Kath Weston in 1997 in her book, Families We Choose: Lesbians, Gays, Kinship. Her research describes the way queers who banded together shared resources, co-parented children, and supported each other in times of need, notably during the AIDS crisis. Although ‘chosen’ implies freely selected, the reality is some individuals do not have a say in the matter due to biological family rejection. Creating family groups can ensure care, acceptance, belonging, and safety. This also means that individuals can create their own roles and responsibilities rather than relying on hetero-gendered norms. To be clear, chosen families are not utopian. Like biological families, they are complicated and complex. They can exhibit curious residual or persistent power dynamics more consistent with heteronormative family structures. Through collaborative staged photographic tableaux, "within the hold of ( )," illuminates the vibrance of queer chosen family. See all items with this value
- A theatrically staged interior — red shag carpet, wood paneling, and wallpaper printed with repeating nude figures — sets the scene for two simultaneous acts of intimacy. On the left, a person reclines holding a cable release, on a worn floral sofa surrounded by queer literature, trailing plants, and scattered balloons. At center-right, three figures perform what reads as a ritual of communal care: one person stands elevated on a wooden box, arms out, while two others tend carefully to making a casting/mold of their chest. Between them, a wicker coffee table holds an arrangement of food that feels less like a snack and more like an offering. See all items with this value
