A self-initiated magazine that brings feminist publishing history into the form of an erotic publication, pairing an oral-history conversation with photographs

I Am My Lover is a self-initiated magazine built around a conversation with Joani Blank and Leigh Davidson about publishing, feminism and sexual liberation. Their account provides a historical context for making and circulating material on their own terms. The magazine places that conversation alongside photographic material, bringing the history into a contemporary editorial object. The work asks how an erotic publication can also carry an account of who gets to publish and represent sexuality. Its form keeps the historical voices present within the reading experience
