La Petite Mort

Challenge:
For the LGBT community, the conversations about sexuality are archaic. I created this exhibition to spark conversation within a local community to recontextualize history and bring a more vulnerable, personal approach to discussing sex, sexuality, and gender to the table.
Solution:
La Petite Mort is a sex education exhibition about the female orgasm. More than just an act of celebration, the show strives to empower, make a case for sex positivity, and change the dialogue around sexuality for gender nonconforming people, that is often repressive and exclusionary. Originally translating from French, La Petite Mort, meaning “little death” has come to compare the sensation of post-orgasm to death.
