Two artists are disappointed after moving their show that included LGBTQ sex education from a Calgary Public Library branch after the library objected to some of the content. The show, which the pair have shown in other cities, examines femme identities and includes work about safer LGBTQ sex, including a video that displays objects like dental dams and gloves. But when the artists went to set up the show at the library, it didn’t go according to plan.
The manager said that the poster was “sexually explicit” and would not be allowed. The poster included imagery from a vintage lesbian magazine, along with safer-sex tips, including the “Do’s and Don’ts of Fisting.” One of the artists said, “The whole intention of the exhibit was about education. I think that’s why it was so severely disappointing.”
