As World AIDS Day approaches, we celebrate the community's bravery, beauty, and sustaining art.

Since 1984, the Foundation has amassed the world's largest collection of LGBTQ+ erotic art. Initially preserving Tom's legacy, our mission expanded during the AIDS epidemic to safeguard other artists' work. Tom's art has promoted safer sex globally since 1988 and supported HIV/AIDS awareness.

Then celebrate the creator, director, and star's 40th birthday with us after the screening! Expect pure bliss, hot guys, and, of course, cake.

From Kake vol. 5–"Punishment" (1970), this iconic closing panel by Tom captures a moment of intense eroticism and tenderness. Part of Tom's groundbreaking Kake series, it explores a world where sensuality is sacred, shame-free, and rooted in liberation.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors, XēBA BOTáNICA® and Condesa Gin, for their incredible support and partnership.

"During this moment, a technical glitch with my camera left me unaware of the outcome. When the film developed, it revealed a beautiful accident—a ghostly image that speaks to the tension between control and surrender." -Ryan Davis

It does not seek to support masculinity in disgrace, but to honor its tenderness, creating space for queer POC bodies who hold both with unapologetic grace. The exhibition debuts the ongoing series “Ethereal Intimacy.”
