Erotic Resisters and Ecosexuals Unite!

SEE EVENT DETAILS
In 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". A 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.

On 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. Join 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.

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.
