2021

↑ While the Love-In was preparing for their Summer Festival 2021, occurring online for the second time due to the pandemic restrictions, we were dreaming of new ways to document and archive. We wanted to depict something beyond what was happening on our screens and capture the essence of the city and the ripple effects of the offerings during the festival activities. 

We had the delightful experience of meeting Stephen Jackman-Torkoff earlier that year, and invited them to reimagine and push the boundaries and possibilities of that challenging task. 

They gracefully accepted, committed to this project with their whole being and generously opened themselves as a portal to truly encapsulate this time. It is with great joy and excitement that we would like to share this truly special and intimate embodied love poem.
