Tue, April 15, 2014 University of Ohio, Athens | On April 15th the Athens International Film Festival will screen Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story (with Annie Sprinkle). Are you out as an ecosexual yet? In West Virginia, big corporations are busy blowing the tops off mountains using a devastating technique known as mountain top removal, (MTR). Two San Francisco ecosexual, lesbian lovers Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, journey to Beth's hometown in the backwoods of Gauley Mountain, where they join a determined group of hillbillies, tree-huggers, and ecosexuals to fight MTR's destruction. This film documents the ways rural communities fight annihilation in the face of short-term corporate greed, it follows our ecosexual activists, who put thier bodies on the line to try to stop it. Featuring extreme treehugging, rock kissing, skinny-dipping, and a wedding (held at OU in 2010) to the Appalachian Mountains, it shows how the fight against environmental injustice can be sexy, fun and diverse. |
Fri, April 11, 2014 University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee | I'll screen Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story (with Annie Sprinkle). The film’s story is told from my perspective as a native West Virginian. Using humor, situated knowledges, dialogical art, and sexuality Annie and I propose romantic/sensual/ecosexual love to create alternative relationships with the Earth, as well as to help alleviate the despair caused by the mass destruction of vast regions of our planet. This film addresses the Appalachian Mountains, which are being wiped out under the patriotic rubric of “national energy security.” Creative strategies deployed in Goodbye Gauley Mountain are offered to help queer environmental activism in order to reach different audiences, as well as to counter corporate propaganda that labels anti-mountain top removal (MTR) coal mining activists as “outsiders.” “Outsiders” implies that activists are not qualified to protest MTR and do not belong in the coalfields, reinforcing xenophobic stereotypes of hillbillies represented in films such as Deliverance. As both an insider and an outsider living in California my film attempts to counter stereotypes that justify the destruction of the land by building unlikely alliances between queers, hillbillies, and activists. We celebrate love for the Earth and marry the Appalachian Mountains. The film’s heretical use of heterosexuality’s most sacred institution strikes at core of the kinds of controlling normative beliefs, assumptions, practices, and borders that manifest destiny establishes and enforces to maintain the current economic colonialism practiced in the coalfields of Appalachia. c21uwm.com/anthropocene/ |
Sat, March 29, 2014 Marshall University, Huntington, WV | This year's annual Appalachian Studies Association Conference is titled "New Appalachia: Known Realities and Imagined Possibilities."

All you WV folks come on down!! mds.marshall.edu/asa_co...../185/ The full conference is the last week of March at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. appalachianstudies.org/annualconference/ |
Sat, March 1, 2014 University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY | Clips from Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story will be shown and discussed in the panel "Latent Destiny, Manifest Reversal" organized by July Oskar and Cleo Woelfle-Erskin. www.politicalecology.or...../cdaa media.wix.com/ugd/819ac.....e.pdf My proposal (on pg 106) for this panel was as follows: This proposal will combine a 3-5 minute video/introductory text with a 10-15 minute excerpt of my new film Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story (with Annie Sprinkle). The film’s story is told from my perspective as a native West Virginian.

Fri, April 11, 2014 University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee | I'll screen Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story (with Annie Sprinkle). The film’s story is told from my perspective as a native West Virginian. Using humor, situated knowledges, dialogical art, and sexuality Annie and I propose romantic/sensual/ecosexual love to create alternative relationships with the Earth, as well as to help alleviate the despair caused by the mass destruction of vast regions of our planet. This film addresses the Appalachian Mountains, which are being wiped out under the patriotic rubric of “national energy security.” Creative strategies deployed in Goodbye Gauley Mountain are offered to help queer environmental activism in order to reach different audiences, as well as to counter corporate propaganda that labels anti-mountain top removal (MTR) coal mining activists as “outsiders.” “Outsiders” implies that activists are not qualified to protest MTR and do not belong in the coalfields, reinforcing xenophobic stereotypes of hillbillies represented in films such as Deliverance. As both an insider and an outsider living in California my film attempts to counter stereotypes that justify the destruction of the land by building unlikely alliances between queers, hillbillies, and activists. We celebrate love for the Earth and marry the Appalachian Mountains. The film’s heretical use of heterosexuality’s most sacred institution strikes at core of the kinds of controlling normative beliefs, assumptions, practices, and borders that manifest destiny establishes and enforces to maintain the current economic colonialism practiced in the coalfields of Appalachia. c21uwm.com/anthropocene/ |

Description: When two fun loving San Francisco women take a hike in the woods and discover that energy corporations are destroying the mountains, polluting the water and killing all living things in their path at an alarming rate, these two queer girls see red and go green. Beth Stephens, a sassy butch professor and Annie Sprinkle a high femme ex porn star join the environmental movement only to discover they don't quite fit in, so they decide to make the movement more sexy, fun and diverse. They shift the metaphor from "Earth as mother" to "Earth as lover" and realize that they are "ecosexual”. To fight corporate greed they take their clothes off, get really dirty, and get arrested for shutting down mining operations. Drama and humor ensue. By the end of this show, you may just realize you are ecosexual too. |

Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze ‘Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze’ SOMArts Cultural Center, 934 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA November 4 – 30, 2011
The exhibition ‘Man as Object: Reversing the Gaze’ will examine the visibility of men and masculinity from female/feminist/transgender perspectives. In the context of this exhibition, the male figure will assume the historically ‘female’ role with the male body and its gender expression shown as spectacle for a woman’s viewing and contemplation. This truly feminist stance positions the surveyor as critic of traditional gender roles, problematizing notions of ‘men,’ ‘male,’ ‘masculinity,’ ‘women’ and ‘female.’ This is an inclusive show for women and transgender artists to challenge what it means for ‘women’ to look at ‘men.’ LOCATION: San Francisco, CA MORE INFO: http://manasobject.weebly.com/

Love Art Lab at Dirtstar Dirtstar is an open air night market in a parallel future. Farmers, chefs, and storytellers gather under the twinkling light of projected histories of queer activism for environmental justice. A delicious menagerie of street food and art. Headphones hang next to seedlings and performances range between farm stands, mapping our queer edible history and projecting that history into an imagined future. Canning jars glow with the pink and green ferments of potlucks, food co-ops, and back to the land faeries, Nightsoil will invoke tastes of queer diasporas with recipes that blend the fruit of our homelands with the queer cultures we have created. The Love Art Lab will be there to perform and share our Sexecology research. No one turned away for lack of funds. LOCATION: San Francisco, California MORE INFO: http://www.queerculturalcenter.org/

We will weave their amazing stories, share some dazzling images, and do mini-performances about their experiments in romance, artificial insemination, breast cancer, sex education, performance art weddings, and other love-inspired projects. We’ll map out our new field of research coined “sexecology” — the place where sexology and ecology intersect. Perhaps you’ll discover that you, too, are an ecosexual. The evening’s proceedings will also feature an erotic cake contest. Every cake will win a prize. 8 p.m. LOCATION: San Francisco, California MORE INFO: http://www.thelab.org/events/424-loveartlab.html
