Love By Many Shapes

Love by Many Shapes is a collection of 7 stories and 6 accompanying visual pieces created in less than 1 week.

The dominant culture that we live in frequently pushes us to prioritize our relationship with a romantic, monogamous partner over other relationships with friends, family, and neighbors. Some ways we see this are in the expectations to cohabit with our partner, formalize the relationship through legal and religious ceremony, (for women in particular) to change our names in marriage, and for partners to share financial & material resources with each other.

In this anthology, we imagine cultures where this is no longer the norm. Our stories and poems describe alternative ways and other possibilities for humans to build, celebrate, or formalize relationships with each other in that world.
