Sarah K Reece / SHINE SA, January 2018
Safer sex’ can be about much more than preventing unwanted infections. For many people, sexual experiences risk leaving emotional bruises, and sometimes our struggles and differences can make good sex seem out of reach.
Sarah K Reece is the SHINE SA Artist-in-Residence. We would like to invite you to Sarah’s SHINE SA launch screening of her TEDx video and exhibition of related art works, titled ‘Emotionally Safer Sex’.
It will be held on Friday 9th February at 5.30pm at SHINE SA – 57 Hyde Street, Adelaide. (NB: This is a free event, but please RSVP via link below, for catering purposes).
This is Sarah’s first ever TEDx talk – and she has ‘gone global’ bravely sharing personal stories, beautiful artwork, and practical advice about how seeking to make sex emotionally safer has helped her navigate challenges such as a trauma history, anxiety, queer identity, mental illness, chronic pain, and physical disability.
Her artworks are an intimate exhibition of 8 ink paintings exploring our physical relationship with our own bodies and our partners. The artworks are hand gilded with 24k gold embellishments and show very human, diverse experiences of the joys and sorrows of sex. The artwork does not display graphic sex acts, nudity, or abuse and is suitable for viewing by children.
