What's the best way to stop a war? Take off your clothes, do some collage, and head to the World Erotic Art Museum.

Join the protest tonight from 6 to 10 p.m. as WEAM launches the next phase of its assault on America's military-industrial monster with "Sexual War Politics," a new exhibition of photomontage by Rosemarie Romero. Expect visual mash-ups of pretty vintage nudie pics and soul-jarring battle images. The impact is equal parts titillating and tragic. But the message is just as clear as that classic hippie come-on: "Make love, not war."

See the cut for details and a NSFW preview of "Sexual War Politics."

Rosemarie Romero's "Sexual War Politics," running August 2 through 31. World Erotic Art Museum, 1205 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. The gallery is open 11 a.m. till 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. till midnight Friday and Saturday. Admission costs $15 for adults, $14 for seniors, and $13.50 for students over 18 years old. Call 305-532-9336 or visit weam.com.
