Annie Sprinkle at University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana

» Posted

I’ll be “guest resident” for a week at this “creative community” and student center doing a series of events at the University of Illinois’s Allen Hall.

Sunday, February, 3
rd 1pm-2:30 presentation, 2:30-3pm – discussion – Annie Sprinkle: MY LIFE & WORK AS A PLEASURE ACTIVIST, PERFORMANCE ARTIST, RADICAL SEX EDUCATOR and ECOSEX PIONEER (in the Main Lounge)

Annie Sprinkle has made SEX her life’s work for four decades. She was a prostitute and porn star who recreated herself as a pivotal player in the 1980’s sex–positive feminist movement, became a tantric sex guru, an internationally acclaimed performance artist, and a sexologist with a PhD. Now the grrrlll has gone green and has come out of the closet as “ecosexual,” taking the Earth as her lover. Annie will share her life’s work, do mini-performances, and stimulate discussion.  anniesprinkle.org

Annie shifts the metaphor from “Earth as Mother” to “Earth as Lover,” for the sheer pleasure of it and in order to help create a more sustainable world. Explore the places where sexology and ecology intersect in our culture, in art, theory, practice and activism. By the end of the presentation you will likely discover that you are an ecosexual too!
