I Photographed My Female Colleagues Being Exotified And Fetishized.

Every year to "celebrate" V-Day my colleagues from H+ | The Hip-Hop Dance Conservatory and I create a series of images and a feature film to explore how gender, sexuality and race affect dating in modern society. This year we chose to delve deeper into interracial couples for our advocacy campaign, "Exotic Temptation" | Think Smart. Love Free®

Our Executive Director Porshia Derival portrays the controversial life of Saartjie Baartman, the start of the history of exotification in the 1800s...to view more disturbing images of female objectification go to our website.
