There is still time to visit "Sensuability, didn't your mom tell you anything?", the exhibition of comics and illustrations now in its sixth edition promoted by the association NessunoTocchiMario (NTM), a project to deepen the link between sexuality and disability. The event is until February 28 at the Casa del Volontariato on Via Galilei 53 in Rome. The exhibition features over 150 panels: 91 are the works from the sixth edition of "Sensuability & Comics", a competition involving Comicon, to which are added over 60 panels signed by some of the greatest Italian illustrators and cartoonists. The aim is to break down the prejudices that revolve around the binomial sexuality and disability, addressed by the artists with irony and lightness. The theme chosen for 2024 is the relationship between sexuality, disability, fairy tales and fables. Artists have been asked to represent their idea of sensuality and sexuality declined on physicalities too often stigmatized by society as imperfect.
The initiator and president of the association is Armanda Salvucci, soul of the competition and the exhibition. During the event, the three winners of the competition are awarded, which saw as jury president the illustrator Fabio Magnasciutti, author of the poster of the sixth edition. With him the experts: Luca Laca Montagliani, Elena Mirulla, Alino and Armanda Salvucci. During the award ceremony, space for music with the performance of the "Not Due": the illustrator Fabio Magnasciutti and Alessio Morglia, respectively voice and guitar of the band Her Pillow.
"We played with fairy tales, fables, myths. We asked our artists to tell us, illustrate their idea of sexuality and disability. We asked them, as every year, to make us smile, laugh, through their panels. And as every year they succeeded. - comments Armanda Salvucci -. Seeing the involvement around this project increase is a source of great pride and the fruit of what we sow during the year, carrying forward a joyful and sensual revolution. Sensuability is a new idea of sexuality but it is also a way of being, of acting towards stereotypes. Our bodies are sensual in their imperfections, they are unique, they can be attractive and must be expressed in their heterogeneity, loved by us just as they are. A message that we will never tire of expressing, which must reach the hearts of the many young people victims of the beauty models that society imposes on us, undermined in their security and their serenity".
The exhibition can be visited (by reservation at number 335 6524950) until February 28, 2024.
