Podcast appearances and mentions of beth stephens

September 22 AM 2024 (Beth Stephens) by Palace Media Services

This week on Talk World Radio we're discussing a recent legal settlement that will compensate family members of people killed by the Bolivian military. Our guest, Beth Stephens, is a Center for Constitutional Rights cooperating attorney and a Distinguished Professor at Rutgers Law School. The Center for Constitutional Rights is at https://ccrjustice.org

When two queer, sex-positive, environmentalist artists meet, of course they're going to fall for each other and make something truly fascinating. Filmmaker Beth Stephens and feminist artist and porn star Annie Sprinkles started the Ecosex movement which says that instead of “Mother Earth”, maybe we should treat our home like “Lover Earth”. Things are gonna get dirty - literally!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First segment: The only way to stop the climate crisis, or at least slow it down, is with organizing. Here in New York, we have a robust climate justice movement. It has been busy of late trying to put New York at the forefront of a Green New Deal. We speak with Jessica Azulay, executive director of the Alliance for a Green Economy. The Alliance's goal is a prosperous, safe, and healthy New York, fulfilling the promise of conservation, energy efficiency, and safe, clean renewable energy sources to end our state's reliance on wasteful and environmentally destructive forms of energy. Second segment: We are joined by Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens, pioneers in the field of ecosexuality (the earth is a living being and spirit, they say). The ecosexuals will be hosting a four-day symposium in the East Village starting on Thursday, June 15, Exploring the Earth as Lover: Ecosex and the City, the idea is to forage new relationships with the environment, engage in human/ non-human collaboration, critique calcified ideologies, and engage in new sexualities—all through the lens of environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, exuberant, and steeped in humor and play.

We are joined by Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens, pioneers in the field of ecosexuality (the earth is a living being and spirit, they say). The ecosexuals will be hosting a four-day symposium in the East Village starting on Thursday, June 15, Exploring the Earth as Lover: Ecosex and the City, the idea is to forage new relationships with the environment, engage in human/ non-human collaboration, critique calcified ideologies, and engage in new sexualities—all through the lens of environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, exuberant, and steeped in humor and play.

Join us for this thought-provoking conversation with founder Beth Stephens to learn more about ecosexuality for EARTH DAY. Ecosexuality is a person that finds nature romantic, sensual and sexy. It is a new sexual identity, much like you might think of pansexual as a newer sexual identity. An ecosexual is a person who imagines the earth as their lover, and it's a term used in dating that describes a person interested in environmentalism. For Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, they have used this term ecosexuality within performance art to blur the boundaries between life and art. Their great love and relationship is something we discuss in this podcast and talking about a new way to queer the environmental movement. I hope you enjoy. Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle founded the ecosexual art movement from their weddings to each other and the earth starting in 2008. Since, then they have written a book, Assuming the Ecosexual Position (University of Minnesota, 2022), and produced two films about their work, Goodbye Gauly Mountain and Water Makes Us Wet, with one on the way, Playing With Fire. BIO Elizabeth M. Stephens is a filmmaker, artist, and professor in the Art Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Stephens grew up in the heart of rural West Virginia's coalfields where she forged deep bonds with the Appalachian Mountains, as well as with miners, labor activists, environmentalists, and other mountaineers. Stephens earned a PhD in Performance Studies from UC Davis in 2015, systemic settler colonial practices, racism and poverty are deeply intertwined with environmental justice. She developed and gained administrative approval for a new MFA in Environmental Art and Social Practice. Her first film was Goodbye Gauley Mountain with Annie Sprinkle. The second was Water Makes Us Wet. Stephens and Sprinkle have screened at Documenta 14 in Kassel, Germany and then went on to screen at MoMA, the British Film Institute and the Berlin Festspiele. In 2021 Stephens was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship with Annie Sprinkle for their new film, Playing with Fire. Their book is Assuming the Ecosexual Position: The Earth as Lover published by the University of Minnesota Press (2022).

Do you want more than to get married and have babies with a ‘Holler Adonis'? Professor & co-founder of the Ecosexual Movement Beth Stephens receives a mid-doggie teenage marriage proposal in a river in West Virginia, and instantly knows she needs to run. From a big city art school to discovering lesbian sex and drugs to a 3-day sex-a-thon (cum couples therapy session) with her wife Annie Sprinkle, Beth's love affair with nature never waivers, it only grows - and the Earth has the final word. #OriginStory #Appalachia #Hillbilly #Feminist #Leather #PunkRockDyke #ClimateChange #Queer #LoveYourMother   Song: 'Treefucker' (Jefferson Bergey)   About our Storyteller:   ❤ A Founder of the Ecosex movement, Beth Stephens (in Artistic collaboration with her wife, Annie Sprinkle) believes that Saving the Planet is Sexy. Beth has spent many years creating art around her passion for the environment and In 2008, Beth and Annie began marrying the Earth in performance art weddings which set them on the path to explore the realm of ecosexuality, taking the Earth as their lover and making their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the Earth. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performances of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, post-human, materialist, and steeped in humor.

"What is Substack" is a question with a deceptively simple answer. Yes, it's an email newsletter platform (made up of text, audio, video, etc). But it's also much more than that. Substack is known for its hands-off approach to censorship. While there are still some publishing guidelines (no porn, hate speech or harassment, for example), the platform's lack of gatekeeping has attracted both ground-breaking journalists and some seriously controversial writers”. https://blog.hootsuite.com/what-is-substack/   Please consider a donation of any amount to Bawdy Storytelling.

This week's guest is a great one, I'm speaking with sexologist Annie Sprinkle, who has had an epic career as a sex-positive and feminist porn star, a performance artist, filmmaker, eco-sex activist, and most recently the co-author of Assuming the Ecosexual Position—Earth as Lover. With her wife Beth Stephens, she launched an eco-sex movement, in addition to working with the founder of Sexological Body Work founder Joseph Kramer. I can't wait for you to hear Annie speak about her incredible body of work.

Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle have been creating multi-media art projects about love, sex, and queerness together for 20 years. Annie was a sex worker from 1973 to 1995, and morphed into a feminist performance artist and sex educator. Beth was a sculptor and installation artist and became a University art professor. She's taught at University of California Santa Cruz for 27 years. These days the duo make environmental films through an ecosexual gaze, they produce symposiums, do theater and performance artivism. Their Ecosex Manifesto launched the Ecosex Movement. They are making a new film about fire for which they got a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2021. A new book, Assuming the Ecosexual Position—the Earth as Lover (University of Minnesota Press) chronicles their epic love story and art/life adventures.

Pleasure activists and eco-sexual performance artists Annie Sprinkle and her partner, Beth Stephens, talk about their fantastic new book "Assuming the Eco-Sexual Position."

The host of Extinction Live Talk Radio is Rev Billy Talen, with Duchess and Teddy Tam Tam. Savitri D reports the News from the Natural World and the Sounds of Extinction.

So what is inspiration? Can inspiration go both ways? The right inspiration for the right time - could change your life forever! And so it did - when Leona & Tommy first met Annie Sprinkle on the "Her story of porn" event she did in Oslo, Norway 2003. We had to fight ourselves past angry anti porn activists and a show promoter who was believing we were part of the ANTI porn resistance! We were there to learn, and we did. This show helped us a lot - to create the early ideas about fuck for forest, eco porn AND EcoSexuality. Since then, somehow inspired by FFF - Annie started her own Eco Sexual movement together with her beautiful partner Beth Stephens - who is a doctor in art, and also a activist and artist. Annie is a doctor in human sexuality and also a performance artist and activist. So what is Eco Sexuality? And why did fuck for forest never get to be a real part of this growing movement? To childish, dirty and uncommercial driven? Or just stupid young people - who did not know how to get better organized and connect to their real family? So many questions - and some will get answered, when we finally get Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens in our Bipolar circle studio - to talk about Eco Sexuality. performance art and life in general. We got inspired by the work of Annie, and this later turned around to inspire her and Beth to start the academic artistic eco sexual moment. Inspiration can be so much. Can we get YOU ready and inspired for a true erotic riot?  Check out the projects of Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens!

On the sixth episode of The Activist Files, CCR Senior Legal Worker Leah Todd talks to attorneys Beth Stephens and Judith Chomsky, who both formerly worked at CCR and continue to collaborate as cooperating counsel on key cases. Beth and Judith represent a group of indigenous Bolivians who brought their former president to trial in the United States for ordering a military massacre that killed their family members. Mamani, et al. v. Sánchez de Lozada, a case that has spanned over a decade, went to trial this past spring – representing the first time a former head of state faced trial in the United States for human rights violations. It resulted in an historic guilty and unanimous jury verdict against the former president of Bolivia, Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada. Stunningly, the judge subsequently overturned the jury verdict, and Beth and Judith are currently working with CCR to appeal. The story of Mamani is an inspiring example of what human rights litigation can achieve, and a demonstration of how, often, we must keep fighting, even after it seems we have won.

Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle will weave together stories of their love/art adventures as they discuss their environmental art and activism. Beth is a punk dyke sculptor turned art professor, and Annie is a sex worker turned performance artist. They fell heels-over-head in love and have collaborated non-stop ever since. In 2008 they invited the Earth to be their lover and launched the ecosex movement. This movement continues to engage a diverse and interdisciplinary group of outsider activists, theorists, artists, and sex workers as it creates spaces for imagining other kinds of futures in the midst of global climate change.

PHENOMENAL WOMEN:  As we all mourn the immortal Maya Angelou, we also pay tribute to some lesser known feminist sheroes: African American feminist historian Stephanie Camp, who died in April at age 46, and psychologist Sandra Bem, whose work helped put an end to sex-segregated employment advertising and open up more careers to women. We also talk with Stacy Russo, editor of LIFE AS ACTIVISM: June Jordan's essays in the Progressive. SF DocFest gets underway on Thursday and has a wide range of female-produced and gender-centered films.  This week we'll preview two of them: FIRST FRIDAY, produced by N'jeri Eaton, directed by Mario Furloni, chronicles Oakland's “First Friday” the month after a tragic murder at what Eaton calls the crown jewel of Oakland's cultural scene. In GOODBYE GAULEY MOUNTAIN: An Ecosexual Love Story, queer activists Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle do their bit to stop mountaintop removal in Beth's home community of West Virginia by marrying the Mountain.  They bring a mix of humor, art and sexuality to help “green the queer movement.” The post Women's Magazine – June 2, 2014 appeared first on KPFA.
