upcoming/RECENT events
June 17, 2023 - Balloon performance as part of "Ecosextravaganza: Performing Earth as Lover" in Annie Sprinkle's and Beth Stephens' "Exploring the Earth as Lover: Assuming the Ecosexual Position" symposium at Performance Space 122 in New York City. To order a symposium pass go here. "Exploring the Earth as Lover: Assuming the Ecosexual Position, is 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. Ecosexuality offers the opportunity to reimagine our relationship with a world wounded by anthropocentrism, capitalism, and ecological destruction."
