Throughout history, human sexuality been legislated, celebrated, explored, vilified, and censored, often reined in (or promoted) according to religions, societies, and governments that set the moral codes, whether universally accepted or not. It's multi-layered and complex.

But for curator Laura Henkel, who’s made a career of studying and portraying human sexuality and its various facets, it’s a fundamental human desire to be embraced and celebrated. Her three-day 12 Inches of Sin Vol. VI art festival at New Orleans Square (formerly Commercial Center) brings in more than 100 artists from around the world who explore the terrain of human sexuality through visual and performance art, burlesque, music, talks, and workshops.

This year’s event, benefiting the nonprofit group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, opens tomorrow, July 21, with multiple exhibits and installations and musical performances; it continues through Sunday in 72,000 square feet of space at New Orleans Square on Sahara Avenue.
