A Filipina American college student uses art to encourage new sexualities for herself and other Asian American women.
In class with a powerful professor, Morena revisits her childhood as she experiences the stirrings of desire in coming of age.
By making a “house her sexuality,” she creates the art of sex, recognizing the traumas and joys of brown girlhood. And realizes sexuality as a site of passion, power, politics, and pleasure.
She refutes, refuses and rebuts how her sexuality intertwines with servility and possession by others so as to forge different sexual futures, freedoms and autonomies.
