12 Lover Mantras by Mayah Lovell.jpg

Mayah Lovell is a Black lesbian latinx from suburban-area D.C. Her artistry grounds in transcendental trauma beside Black queer ancestors and awakened by practice of dream recall, radical love, and ritualism. By portraying transparency and intimacy of bodymind exchange, complacency in overt sexualism, and exploitation of mass ego, Mayah illustrates the psyche of neo-erotica to combat warfare against spiritual, sexual, and physical dysphoria.
