What Touch Remembers is a playful, provocative group exhibition that explores the boundless terrain of s3x, desire, and identity through the work of 21 QTBIPoC artists. Set within the intimate and experimental space of the Club Car, this show invites viewers to slip into curiosity, to test the edges of comfort, and to reimagine intimacy as a site of power, play, and transformation.

Across diverse mediums, these artists use pleasure as material; bending, stretching, and reshaping dominant narratives around s3xuality. They challenge what we’ve been taught to fear or hide, instead offering visions that honor the er0tic as a tool for self-knowing, connection, and collective joy. What Touch Remembers dares us to see ourselves and each other more honestly, more tenderly, and with radical delight.

Curated by Chelsey Luster, this exhibition is part of Hot Bits 2025, coinciding with film screenings and events at SNF Parkway Theater in Baltimore, May 16–17.

Featuring artists Soledad Green, Mario Moya, Génesis de las Olas, Vetiver, Juan T. Garcia, Eriko Hattori, Mori Anderson Hitchcock, Tia Wilson, Anthony, Brian Suryah, NaBrayah Jones, Seamone Farries, BrownBearButch, Amya Meshelle, Angel Jones, Nic Caldwell, Tín Rodriguez, MeiLi Carling, Shanisia Person, Chelsea Hunter, Savannah Imani Wade, and Floozy Carmichael.

Poster art by Soledad Green, design by Eva Wu.
