permission to look: an all-nude figure drawing communion for women
and other gender minorities*
this isn't primarily about drawing.
this is about stripping down
to reclaim love of self and sister
through intimate proximity to and creative exploration of difference
difference as real, as necessary, as vulnerable, as glorious
when we draw close to our differences
--in a safe and creative space, together--
we actively move into belonging.
this is a radical move.
*we welcome anyone with lived experience as a woman
–past, present, or future–and all other gender minorities.

“i” am olivia lopes (she/her), msw, bra fitter
i’ve opened the chest collective because
1. i like to connect and play and learn
2. i’ve got big breast volume
on a small ribcage
and i didn’t have a properly fitting bra
until i found a great bra fitter myself
i know i’m not alone
and how consequential this issue can be
my shingle is up
i can’t wait to assist you
my chestimonial in a 6-frame comic
what will your chestimonial be
when you have bras that fit?
when you have bras that fit?

because my shoulders feel so free now.”
