Let’s talk about NUDITY!

CAPTION FOR VIDEO ABOVE:

Hi friends! It’s good to see you again, it’s been a little while. I wanted to come on here to invite you to this weekend’s event for Going Beyond the Lens. If you’re new and you have no idea what I’m talking about, Going Beyond the Lens is an art community that I cocreated with Lior Allay + Roarie Yum. All 3 of us have been in the photography/modeling/art industry for… I believe all of us have been in for over 10 years, so we have a lot of information about that world.

This community isn’t just for photographers and models, it’s for any creative medium, period. If you make art at all you’re totally welcome to come. Even if you don’t make art and you’re just a fan of art you’re also welcome to come. This community, we host virtual events twice a month. We have an art share on the 3rd Saturday of every month, which was last weekend so that already happened. We have a community conversation that’s on the 4th Sunday of every month, so that’s coming up as of when this posts, it’s coming up tomorrow!

If you’d like to join us, this month we’re focusing on the topic of NUDITY, so all of the ways in which nudity shows up in art, or doesn’t, there’s a whole spectrum of nude to non nude in art. We wanted to go over nudity and how it’s incorporated in your art, my art, everyone else’s art, so we’re going to have a conversation about that on Sunday, tomorrow, at 1pm eastern. We have a guest speaker that will be speaking about their art and nudity. I’m giving the guest speaker my spot, because usually me Lior + Roarie, we usually talk about the topic a little bit and our art process around that topic, and then we open the floor for everyone to discuss.

We have 3 speakers and then the rest of the event is just a conversation with the community so everyone is welcome to join in. To make space for the guest speaker, I’ve given up my spot to be a speaker and I will just be there participating, so I’m very excited. I’m going to read off the questions we’re going to focus on right now so you can get an idea of some of the things we’ll be talking about tomorrow.

The questions are:

Define your personal experience with nudity whether in your art or life or both.

How do you distinguish between when nudity is presented in a sexual or nonsexual context?

What is your intention behind the use of nudity in your work? What does it represent?

Was there a time you observed controversial usage of nudity (can you describe how it was used and why it felt controversial?)

I’m so excited to dive into this with yall, very excited, so I would super love for you to join us! It’s a choose your own donation price entry, so it could be a dollar, whatever you want to donate. The conversation tomorrow is donation based, the art shares (the next one is next month) those are free for everybody. The conversation we go more in depth and we are also trying to build the community so having some funds makes it much easier to build, and to pay the guest speaker and all of that. So yeah choose your own donation, you can come for whatever price you feel. I’m very excited and would love for you to join us.

If you’re curious about some of the nuance of this before going into the event, me and Lior + Roarie have been doing livestreams on instagram around this topic and some of the questions, so if you want to look into some of those before joining the event, I’ll put the links down below. I’ll just put the link to the GBTL account because that’s where all the lives are. That’ll be in the caption below.

I don’t want to talk about too much in this video because I realize the longer it is the less likely it is for people to read it, because huge blocks of text can be overwhelming, so this is your official invitation to the GBTL conversation event about NUDITY that’s happening tomorrow, so please join us we would love to have you there!

If you’re a Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color and you are in need of financial help, like if you would like a scholarship to join the event for free, send me an email at bunnyluna@pm.me and I will give you the code to get in for free.

Okay I love you, thank you so much for joining us, or me, haha I’m used to talking for GBTL. Thank you so much for joining me here on my website! I am looking forward to creating queer and ecosexual and self love content for yall. I’m still figuring out exactly what I want to do for that, but I will for sure start posting content in that realm by June for sure, but I also want to give myself a break from doing things on a regular basis since I’ve been doing basically a weekly post on my website since… 2016? When it was originally on patreon, so that’s 5 years. I’m taking a little break to recalibrate, so that’s why there’s not as much from me. Yeah I will come back and be better than ever!

Yeah I just wanted to invite you to the conversation event that’s tomorrow, please come, here’s the link in the thing below. I love you, thank you for being here, and I will talk to you soon!
