Artist Aubrié Costello (creator of THE EROTIC PROJECT), in collaboration with Pig Iron’s Dito van Reigersberg, interviewed 14 brave humans, inviting them to get vulnerable about love. Together, they chronicled experiences that queer people, creatives, and lovers in Philadelphia encounter. Invisible Ink invites patrons to explore relics from those interviews and to contribute pieces of their own personal experiences, fostering empathy and aiding in the discovery of synchronicity across generations.

Patrons are invited to take time in the art space to rest and reflect on the stories shared. They are asked to join in honoring and amplifying these narratives, holding them close with utmost respect and dignity. This is meant to be an interactive environment. If called to, patrons are encouraged to add their own experiences and reflections to the ongoing work. The exhibition will continue to archive the nuances of queer love, loss, life, and community with tenderness and care.
