You Are Enough is a visual arts show that calls forth our strategies of resistance, radical self-love, and breaking the silence in order to shirk off the shame associated with Crazy. This shame demands our very lives as sacrifice, but we have the power, though collective voices, to banish it. Artists name and reclaim our Crazy to become more fully embodied and more recognizable to ourselves and one another.

The American Psychological Association’s classification of homosexuality as a disease is a reminder that our self-knowledge is more important than a diagnosis. Diagnoses rooted in white supremacy, ableism, classism, misogyny and homophobia have undercut the power we hold and laced our survival with stigma. The artists in You Are Enough offer their stories and experiences, and a vision for survival.

Featured artists include The Lady Miss Vagina Jenkins, Tricia Jameson-Tutwiler, and Sophie Spinelle.
