2012 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

  • Neighborhood: West Philadelphia
  • Change Partner: Lonnie Grant (TMAN)
  • Discipline: Literary Arts

Ovid is creating My Body Is My Own, an illustrated resource which will serve as a powerful tool used to educate folks about personal space, encourage respect for personal decisions of others, aid in the normalization of consent, and empower folks of all body types and experiences to own their bodies and be present in them. Using simple, non-threatening illustrations, he will invite readers to consider the experience of human souls that navigate society inside of bodies that are perceived as different, confusing, or freakish. He also seeks to affirm the experience of those who are perceived as “others” by using language that may facilitate healing and a connection with and ownership of one’s container. Ovid will create both a children’s book as well as a resource for an older audience.
