Kolding, Denmark CONNECT ME: nature x human x technology Closing date of this great exhibition that’s been up since September 2022. One room is dedicated to our work. CONNECT ME will address today’s increased focus on, and quest for communities and connections to each other and the world. Increasing loneliness and isolation, exacerbated by lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic, call for renewed focus on what ‘connection’ means. Trapholt invites Danish and international artists to participate in the project through exhibition, catalogue and talks.

Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens meet the impressive Mithu M. Sanyal together with their director Joy Brooke Fairfield on the 18th of August at 7pm. They talk about „The Earth as Lover“ and let us be part of it through their conversation.

Film and performance evening with Annie Sprinkle, Beth Stephens and regional artists Since we also want to reach people who don’t want to or can’t go to BUGA 23 with “The Earth as lover”, there will also be a free evening with Annie Sprinkle, Beth Stephens and the regional artists in the Kunsthalle Mannheim. This will take place on August 23rd. at 8:00 p.m. In addition to the performance, a documentary about the walks will be shown there. This means that everyone who cannot take part in one of the walks can take part.

For the last decade, Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have been creating performance under the rubric of "ecosexuality" in which they playfully provoke audiences to think differently about their relationship to the Earth: instead of imagining Earth as mother, how would we treat the Earth if we thought of it as a lover?
