Our Anatomy empowers a collective reimagining of the ways we relate to perception, relationship and erotic power.
There are infinite ways eros can flow through us- some that include sexual expression and many that do not. Our goal is to increase healthy bonding in sexual and non sexual relationships by weaving a new ancestral story of embodiment- a story that honors the erotic resonance of the earthbody and humanity’s role as an organ of the Earth.
Through community dialog and study with elders, holistic pathways for learning creative sovereignty and pleasure agency are being revealed.
We use the tools of image and storytelling because they are artful, ancestral ways to transform unconscious connection into conscious wisdom.
Our Anatomy’s research evolves through group inquiry at Participatory Action Research gatherings.
We gather to look at evolving anatomical art and storytelling that maps our bodies, our consciousness and our relationship with the earthbody.
-
Somatic Art
Our anatomy is not without story. Sharing the stories carried within our bodies is integral to the art making process
-
Participatory Action Research
At research gatherings we turn our lived experience into shared insight that marks the path toward meaningful change
-
Ancestral Wisdom
Ancestral cosmovisions hold systemic perspectives that value the study and remembrance of where consciousness, life and eros originate.
Our Anatomy's art and research is spreading through gatherings, gallery walls, prose, learning materials, and one on one sessions.
The Planetary Anatomy Collection
This collection of watercolor anatomical studies are hand painted from life- art and storytelling that explores how our relationship with our personal and planetary anatomy impacts our ability to thrive. We are speaking to humanity’s profound curiosity about how our anatomy relates to power, culture, pleasure, ecology and ancestry.
Writing
Research gatherings, time spent with the elders and the personal stories that make Our Anatomy pulse are given voice through writing and artwork shared on Jote's substack.
Stewardship
Jote is the main steward of Our Anatomy. Their background in somatic psychology and their studies with the elders root the project in systems thinking and mutual care. They facilitate multidisciplinary research processes exploring planetary anatomy. One of the ways they share the research back to the community is through a series of watercolor paintings inspired by the bodies and personal stories of the research team.
