On April 29th, 2014 our class enjoyed a visiting lecture and workshop by Anya Wallace, a doctoral candidate in Women’s Studies and Art Education at Penn State University who is also an artist and girls’ educator (www.anyamwallace.com). She discussed her pleasure-focused sexuality scholarship with black girls and young women and led the class in a creative pedagogy she has developed called “pleasure mapping.” Students created visual and textual representations that recollect their experiences of pleasure–sexual and beyond.
This slideshow features pleasure maps created by students who have chosen to share them on the course blog. I am moved by the complex and beautiful work the class has created, their maps evoke bodies and pleasures in wonderous multiplicity.
