Microscopic Erotic
Who says nature is binary?
Sri Lankan multi-disciplinary artist Tehani Amarasuriya and Minneapolis-born, Rotterdam-based co-creater of a tattoo, textile, and photography studio - dedicated to providing gender affirming, body empowering, and collaborative experiences for queer people - Bel McLaughlin present the immersive performance Microscopic Erotics. They use performative microscopic visuals to demonstrate a political queering of ecosexuality as a way of relating to non-human beings.
This program is part of Queer Ecology x Gert Wessels. Queer ecology is a field that incorporates queer theory with ecology, environmentalism, social justice, and eco-feminism. It offers a lens to understand the fluidity and diversity in "human and non-human" realms, as well as fostering an inclusive relationship with nature that celebrates the broad spectrum and complexities in nature.
