It’s that time again! One of my favorite events, The Feminist Porn Awards, is just around the corner and this year it is very exciting because April Flores World is nominated for a Feminist Porn Award, and I will be participating in the Feminist Porn Conference!
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
Feminists have been debating, studying, and creating pornography for decades, and the transformation of feminism, sexual politics, porn, and popular culture over the last decade has broadened the dialogue on this provocative topic. With the resurgence of anti-pornography feminist scholarship and activism, the time has come to hear from progressive, anti-censorship, sex positive, and sex worker feminist voices.The Feminist Porn Conference, a one day conference, will bring together academics, cultural critics, sex workers, activists, fans, and producers to explore the intersections between feminism and pornography as well as the emergence of feminist porn as a genre, industry, and movement. It will be a part of The Good for Her Feminist Porn Awards, one of the largest gatherings of feminist pornographers in the world. We seek to raise awareness, pose critical questions, and incite dialogue about the shifting landscape of pornography and what roles we can play in it. It includes sessions, two special screenings, a keynote luncheon, and a closing reception.
I will be a panelist on If I Had A Hammer: Reclaiming Feminist Porn As A Tool of Political Activism Against Oppression with Panelists: Courtney Trouble (moderator), April Flores, Carlos Batts, Tobi Hill-Meyer, Carrie Gray, jes sachse
