Exploring the Earth as Lover: Ecosex and the City
Films, Panels, Performances, and More
- June 14 - 18
- Sunday's Schedule
Join us for Exploring the Earth as Lover: Ecosex and the City, a four-day symposium to forge new relationships with the environment, engage in human/ non-human collaboration, critique calcified ideologies, and engage in new sexualities—all through the lens of environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, exuberant, and steeped in humor and play.
On June 18, we’re excited to host the panel Dendraphilia, Hydrofeminism, Compost, Bees & Beyond, with speakers—poet, author, and “compost sexual” Eileen Myles, dancers and community makers Kevin O’Connor & Brooke Chrisjohn, interdisciplinary artist and scholar Duskin Drum, urban beekeeper and theater maker Luke Dixon, hydrosexual/hydrofeminist artists and scholars Ewelina Jarosz & Justyna Górowska who will discuss the bouquet of approaches to and offshoots of ecosexuality.
