Abstract

The article focuses on the exhibition "Desire on the Couch," which will be held in San Francisco starting January 28th, co-organized by the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and the Kinsey Institute. The exhibition explores the historical and contemporary understanding of sexuality, featuring archival materials such as letters, photographs, and artworks that highlight the evolution of sexual identity and its medicalization. It aims to engage both the psychoanalytic community and the public in discussions about sexuality's impact on identity and trauma. The exhibition will include guided tours and discussions, culminating in a conversation on March 12 between CIIS's Dr. Christopher Walling and Kinsey Institute's Dr. Justin Garcia.
