Annie Sprinkle Libri
Questa autrice ha esplorato appassionatamente la sessualità per oltre quarant'anni, incanalando le sue esperienze in un'unica forma d'arte femminista, che include film, scrittura, arti visive e performance. Figura cardine del Movimento Sex Positive degli anni '80, il suo lavoro sostiene costantemente i diritti e l'assistenza sanitaria delle sex worker. Porta una prospettiva unica, informata dal suo background, nella sua arte e nel suo attivismo. Attualmente è una voce di spicco nel nuovo 'movimento ecosex', rendendo l'ambientalismo più coinvolgente e diversificato attraverso progetti artistici collaborativi.

In this illustrated, interview-format volume, 16 women performance artists animatedly address the volatile issues of male domination, feminism, race and denial. Among the modern warriors here are Diamanda Galás, a composer of ritualistic "plague masses" about AIDS who refuses to tolerate pity or weakness; Lydia Lunch, a self-described "instigator" who explains that her graphic portrayals of exploitation stem from her victimization as a child; and Wanda Coleman, a poet who rages against racism and ignorance. Goddess worshipper and former porn star Annie Sprinkle enthusiastically promotes positive sexual attitudes; bell hooks eloquently discusses societal power structures in terms of race and gender; Holly Hughes, Sapphire and Susie Bright expound on lesbianism and oppression; pro-choice advocates Suzy Kerr and Dianne Malley describe their struggles for reproductive rights. Incendiary opinions of current issues such as the Gulf War and censorship and frequent allusions to empowering art and literature make this an excellent reference source. These informed discussions arm readers verbally, philosophically and behaviorally and provide uncompromising role models for women actively seeking change.
