Join the Environmental Committee and QISA for the film screening of Water Makes Us Wet: An Ecosexual Adventure (2017)!

Ecosexuality is a new movement at the intersection of culture and ecological activism founded by performance artists Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens which seeks to re-frame the conversation around solving environmental issues. Through their ecosexual performances, lectures, walking tours, workshops, visual art, symposia, manifesto, films and other creative projects, Sprinkle and Stephens posit a radical relationship with environmentalism that is non-hetero-normative, and non-human centered.

Beth Stephens will be joining us to talk to us about how they are trying to make environmentalism more diverse, attractive and fun. This will be accompanied by a screening of their film, Water Makes Us Wet: An Ecosexual Adventure (2017), which chronicles the pleasures and politics of water in California from an ecosexual perspective. Following the film screening there will be a moderated discussion with the filmmakers to discuss the themes and ideas that their film prompts. This event is an opportunity for IHEID to look at the Earth and our relationship with it in a new way. It is time to connect the dots: Are we exploiting the planet in the same way we do with women's bodies?
