Polyamory in The Mid-Century
The American society of the mid-century wasn't prepared for polyamory or polygamous relationships, and often those who engaged in these practices were criminalized and imprisoned. They were seen as individuals with mental illnesses and were judged as if it were an extramarital affair. To discuss this period of history, I used photographic techniques and the typical tones of that era, co-creating my art with the help of Midjourney and Magnifique. Nowadays, in some states, there are still laws against bigamy, which potentially affects polyamorous relationships.It's a piece co-created with AI especially for Strange Histoversary.
