ADRIA MOSES

THE MODEL OF EMBODIMENT

In a world that often neglects the importance of proper care and community, liberation leader Adria Moses emerges as a guiding light, placing significance on preserving what matters most - people.

Initially stemmed from a curiosity about self-care perceptions and the need to remember the parts that aren't seen yet still felt, Take Care: The Radical Embodiment of Self-Preservation is a call for care to be explored in all its forms.
