“Here Come the Ecosexuals!”
Wednesday, May 25, 2016 - 5:00pm
Media Theater, Theater Arts Center (UCSC)
Presented by: 
Arts Division
History of Art and Visual Culture

Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle will weave together stories of their love/art adventures as they discuss their environmental art and activism. Beth is a punk dyke sculptor turned art professor, and Annie is a sex worker turned performance artist. They fell heels-over-head in love and have collaborated non-stop ever since. In 2008 they invited the Earth to be their lover and launched the ecosex movement. This movement continues to engage a diverse and interdisciplinary group of outsider activists, theorists, artists, and sex workers as it creates spaces for imagining other kinds of futures in the midst of global climate change.
