Touring Intimate Encounters

Is your organisation interested in educating the wider community about disability issues?

Would you like to host an event that provides a strong visual impact along with honest stories from the participants?

Photographic exhibition, Intimate Encounters: Disability and Sexuality by photographer Belinda Mason-Lovering has been extremely well received by the Northland community. 

Over 2000 people viewed the exhibition in Whangarei receiving overwhelming positive feedback from the public with comments such as:

• “One of the best and most thought provoking exhibitions I have ever seen, Touching, moving and inspiring”; 
• “Well done for leading out on such a beautiful exhibition”;
• “A wonderful, insightful exhibition, the written stories beside the photos gave a good insight into the subjects, their life and challenges, highly recommended”.

The forty photographic works depict disabled individual’s sexuality in their own context encouraging the public to see people with disabilities as people first and foremost rather than their disability experience.  “This exhibition goes a long way to breaking down misconceptions about people with disabilities and sexuality” says Denise Beckwith, one of the models portrayed as ‘The Mermaid’.
