While the idea of “passing down” knowledge through generations is
common, in reality the formation of intergenerational knowledge is
multidirectional. Older generations are challenged, changed and informed
by younger ones and vice-versa. Featuring works by photographers
Taslima Akhter, Lisa Marie David, and Jessica Xiomara Orellana Ventura,
daughters, mothers, grandmothers and other sexual outlaws documents
intergenerational exchanges and youth leadership fueling sexual and
reproductive health and rights (SRHR) activism around the world, at the
family and community levels.

Co-curated by Inter Pares and three international counterparts, this
exhibition showcases the work of engaged documentary photographers to
provide a glimpse into the lives and struggles of feminist activists
across El Salvador, rural landless communities in Bangladesh, and in
informal settlements of Manila in the Philippines. While the three
counterparts face different political and social circumstances and have
different aims, all of them operate within societies that are hostile to
notions of bodily autonomy for girls, women, and gender-diverse people,
making their work revolutionary and urgent. Their work is dangerous –
thus the term ‘sexual outlaws’.
