Edited by past Papersafe contributor Paolo Morales, this issue is our largest yet at 150 pages. Paolo approached us a year ago with the idea of editing an issue around the idea of what intimacy looks like in photographs. It’s a simple idea, however, Paolo’s selection of photographs and photographers goes beyond the obvious, and examines the idea of intimacy in ways which we were not expecting. He has curated a body of photographs in this issue that allows us to view and understand intimacy on myriad levels from a range of perspectives: from Ka-Man Tse photographing the LGBTQ community in Hong Kong, to Hannah Price’s photographs of the men who catcalled her on the streets of Philadelphia, to Vivian Fu’s diaristic images of intimate moments with her partner.

This weekend is your last chance to see Venus Occults Jupiter at Love Apple Art Space!

The artists in this exhibition explore ritual, mythologies, and the contradictions between the personal and historical. They draw attention to ideas often overlooked, breaking down traditional presentations of power and control. 'Venus Occults Jupiter' reflects on the importance of challenging conventional narratives, exploring empathy as a means to combat exclusionary histories.
