“Dare to be as physically robust and varied as you always were.”
Hello! We have a little favor to ask of you:
Over the past two years we have been hard at work on this project, and we are nearing the finish line. We’re starting with skin care, but really this is a holistic wellness experience founded in activist roots, and we’re really, really proud of what it’s going to be.
Áine Skin is a project working to normalize skin in all its forms, conditions, landscapes, and meanings, while providing a ritual for reconnection and introspection.
One aspect of our project that we’ve been working with close friends and family, that we now expand to you, is an online multimedia exhibit. Send us your images / art / drawings / paintings / print-media / prose / poetry / sculptures / objects / recipes / (& any medium we may have missed) if you feel like it. You can include any part of yourself that you are comfortable with. Vulnerability and honesty are encouraged.
Áine is for everyone: this means we encourage people from all walks of life to participate in this collaborative project. We’re hoping to create an archive of honest photos, art, and expressions of skin, and we’re inviting you to be a part of it.
Only submit what you're comfortable with. We encourage you to think of your body and your skin as a landscape, and submit images that frame it in that way. Express yourself as you see fit; do not feel limited by photographs alone, we encourage you to see yourself and your skin in a new way. We will not alter, filter, or "correct" your photos in any way. They, and you, are already perfect.
In short, send nudes (if you want to).
