About the Program
Telling Relations: Sexuality and the Family is a group show curated by Larissa Lai that deals with the uncertain space between sexual practice and family belonging. Since sexuality is always culturally defined, it poses a dilemma for women of colour in the West since we have to fit into at least two cultures at a time. What happens to our relationship with our mothers? Our fathers? Our children? What do family members tell or teach each other? What kinds of secrets do we keep? What kinds of euphemisms do we use? Who gets hurt? Who benefits? Whose hopes are filled? Whose are destroyed? How do racism, classism, and ableism (internalized or not) figure into the way we treat each other? In the upcoming generations, how will our families recognize themselves?Curator
