SUMMARY:Queer Artist Survival Salon #2
DESCRIPTION:EARTH Lab SF (Beth Stephens) and Jason Wyman / Queerly Complex are hosting THREE Peer Exchanges at the new 465 Collective Space to harness the peer power of San Francisco Bay Area Queer Artists to co-create survival tactics\, tools\, and frameworks. \n\n\nWe\, as queer / dyke / fag artists\, know that our art / work / collections have been\, continue to be\, and will likely always be censored by domination\, oppression\, and tyranny. We will think\, dream\, and work together to develop tactics that ensure our being / art / work survives these attacks. Each Peer Exchange in this series focuses on a different aspect of queer / dyke / fag survival and uses arts-based activities to generate collective wisdom. We will gather our results into an online resource guide with the participants’ consent. This guide will feature a summary of the Peer Exchanges\, art activities to aid personal and collective exploration\, and suggested material and actions for deeper understanding and analysis. We will autonomously and collectively take action to ensure queer / dyke / fag art / artists are more interconnected\, documented\, and their work shared\, so that it / we survive long into the future. \n\nTOPIC TWO: Queer Life Social Security – What kinds of security do we queers need to live (and thrive) in this oppressive world? This question will be the featured topic of our second Peer Exchange\, where we will craft our Personal Social Security Cards. We can display these cards should we find ourselves in a place of insecurity or emergency. They will remind us of who we are\, what to do\, and who to rely on in case of emergency. E.A.R.T.H. Lab SF and Queerly Complex will compile the tactics\, ideas\, and strategies generated through this exercise into a Queer Security Tip Sheet and publish it via the Culture Tending Commons. We will also be sharing all of our backend organizing tactics so other queers / dykes / fags can facilitate similar conversations and collective knowledge generation in their communities. \n \n\n

Step into a world where nature’s allure meets poetic expression. \nEmbark on a journey through Holly Park\, guided by the enchanting duo of Stephens and Sprinkle\, along with their nature-loving companions. Leave behind the digital realm and immerse yourself in the tactile pleasures of our earthy escapade. Throughout this sensorial adventure\, indulge your senses in sumptuous scents\, captivating sights\, and the melodious symphony of nature’s whispers. As we tread lightly upon the earth\, we will serenade our beloved planet with verses that paint her as our cherished lover. Join us for a celebration of the sensual and the ecological\, where poetry intertwines with the pulse of the Earth itself. \nThis eco-erotic poetry walk is inspired by the Earth—for the Earth. \nPresented with the E.A.R.T.H. Lab SF (ELSF). This org builds community by creating collaborative\, multidisciplinary art projects that re-envision the Earth\, all of its beings\, and environmental activism with fresh eyes. ELSF expands prevailing notions of environmental art\, challenges the mainstream’s binary concepts of gender\, sexuality and race\, and incorporates inclusive\, diverse and imaginative possibilities for sustainable living. Their projects promote love\, tolerance\, sustainability and peace. \nStephens and Sprinkle have been creating multimedia projects together for 21 years\, about love\, environmental issues and the sensual pleasures of the natural world. Stephens has been a professor at University of California Santa Cruz for 29 years. Sprinkle was a sex worker turned performance artist. The duo make films\, produce symposiums\, create theater and performance art. Their Ecosex Manifesto launched the Ecosex Movement. They are currently making a film about fire for which they were awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2021. Their book\, Assuming the Ecosexual Position—the Earth as Lover (University of Minnesota Press) chronicles their epic love story and art/life adventures. \nAttendees of the event will receive complimentary copies of Assuming the Ecosexual Position: The Earth As Lover\, courtesy of SFPL. Copies will be distributed before (please arrive early) and after the event. Additionally\, following the stroll\, the book giveaway will continue at the Wild Side West garden\, accompanied by a book signing.

SUMMARY:Erotic Resisters & Ecosexuals Unite! with Gigi Otálvaro-Hormillosa at the Tenderloin Museum
DESCRIPTION:Erotic Resisters and Ecosexuals Unite! \nAuthors Gigi Otálvaro-Hormillosa\, Annie Sprinkle\, & Beth Stephens in-person! Moderated by Dr. Joy Brooke Fairfield \nSaturday April 27\, 2024 | 3-5pm \nAt the Tenderloin Museum | 398 Eddy St. SF\, CA94102 \nFree or Suggested Donation ($10) | Register via Eventbrite \nIn celebration of the recent publication of Gigi Otálvaro-Hormillosa’s new book\, Erotic Resistance: The Struggle for the Soul of San Francisco\, Tenderloin Museum hosts the author for a double-header book talk with Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens\, fellow activist-artists and scholars of human sexuality\, who will discuss their latest latest\, Assuming the Ecosexual Position:The Earth as Lover. \nA celebration of the erotic performance cultures that have shaped San Francisco\, Erotic Resistance: The Struggle for the Soul of San Francisco (UC Press\, 2024) explores a milieu that is indelibly intertwined with the Tenderloin’s history: the city’s bohemian past and its essential role in the development of American adult entertainment by highlighting the contributions of women of color\, queer women\, and trans women who were instrumental in the city’s labor history\, as well as its LGBT and sex workers’ rights movements. Otálvaro-Hormillosa utilizes visual and performance analysis\, historiography\, and ethnographic research (including participant observation as both performer and spectator)\, and interviews with legendary burlesquers and strippers to share a remarkable history and to frame an intersection of art\, activism\, performance\, and human sexuality. Otálvaro-Hormillosa explores how\, in the 1960s\, topless entertainment became legal in San Francisco for the first time in the US\, even while cross-dressing continued to be criminalized\, and how\, in the 1990s\, stripper-artist activists led the first successful class action lawsuits and efforts to unionize! She writes\, says Annie Sprinkle\, “courageously and eloquently from her perspective as a performance artist and scholar inspired by the tradition of sex-positive feminists since the 1960s who have resisted patriarchy by reclaiming and celebrating their sexuality.” \nOn Saturday April 27th\, Otálvaro-Hormillosa will present her work and new book at a TLM public program in conjunction with her friends and fellow artist-activists Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens\, who also work in the space where scholarship\, sexuality\, activism\, and the arts intersect and have in fact helped shape the field and discipline of human sexuality studies. Both have long and storied careers as artists and academics\, and since 2002 have been life partners and “50/50 collaborators” on multimedia projects. In 2008\, Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens married the Earth\, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since\, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology\, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist\, queer\, sensual\, sexual\, posthuman\, materialist\, exuberant\, and steeped in humor. Their latest publication\, Assuming the Ecosexual Position: The Earth as Lover ((U. of Minnesota Press\, 2021)\, describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators\, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia\, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory.  \nJoin us for these complementary book talks\, both of which explore subjects that resonate with the Tenderloin’s history and culture\, in a program moderated by professor at Rhodes College\, media-maker\, and Sprinkle/Stephens collaborator Dr. Joy Brooke Fairfield. Free or suggested donation ($10); please register via Eventbrite to let us know you’re coming! This program is one of many happenings for “I Love Tenderloin Week\,” a celebration of the neighborhood and its people\, businesses\, and culture by a coalition of local individuals and organizations.
