Eye Lounge presents Sex and Sovereignty, a photography exhibition by Amanda Mollindo that centers people who can become pregnant, their healthcare providers, and their advocates. Captured over six years across six U.S. states, participants share their stories and struggles related to sexual and reproductive health.
Mollindo’s work celebrates individual power in asserting bodily autonomy despite increased barriers, politicization, and neglect. Through portraiture and video testimonies, the artist uplifts personal narratives to encourage meaningful dialogue around stigmatized topics like abortion, contraception, sexuality, and more.
Sex and Sovereignty will be accompanied by a self-published book that features portraits and transcripts from participant videos, and live events at the gallery while the work is on display.
Exhibition runs: November 17 - December 10
Opening reception: November 17, 6 - 10 p.m.
First Friday: December 1, 6 - 9 p.m.
